Instalation DVD is damaged and can't install OS X. What should I do?

If you have to reinstall, you'll need to get a new copy of the installation DVD. If this is the disk that came with your Mac, call Apple tech support and they should be able to sell you a replacement disk set for a reasonable charge.

  • "Install Adobe Flash Player" is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.

    Attempting to install Flash player on a mac. System requirements are met; old versions uninstalled. I keep getting this error message "Install Adobe Flash Player" is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.

    Hi,
    can you try installing from this zip file? http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_11.7.700.203_archive. zip

  • Gatekeeper failure: Application is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash

    I have installed Eve online.
    With the first try to start it I received message "Eve Online is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash".
    I know my Gatekeeper may protect me from apps downloaded from internet so I tried open Eve online application with Ctrl also. I tried open it using context menu also.
    Everything ended with same message = Damaged move to Trash.
    Re-download and reinstall resulted in the same behavior (almost 8GB download).
    However I found out later on that disabling Gatekeeper by selecting "Allow applications downloaded from: Anywhere" is the only way how to solve it.
    When Gatekeeper is off application works without any problem.
    So my question is: Is this behavior of Gatekeeper correct?
    I do not think so. Gatekeeper should stop mark applications as broken if they are not. It can be marked as dangerous. It can be marked as Blocked. But it should say always: Gatekeeper marked it as dangerous because ... Gatekeeper blocked it from start because ....
    Am I right? Should I write a bug report for this or there is something I missed?

    Hi, thanks.
    To be honest I checked it and I found their suggestion to switch off Gatekeeper.
    However I expected I can avoid Gatekeeper using Ctrl or starting application from context menu because I prefer to keep Gatekeeper switched on for regular work.
    I know now, that I cannot. The only way is to disable Gatekeeper generally.
    But the question is: Do you think that message "Application is broken..." is valid for case when Application is evaluated by gatekeeper as potentially dangerous? Based on this experience I see it wrong. Application is working ok and Gatekeeper marks it as broken.

  • "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.pkg" is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.

    After 3 different downloads (2 in Safari, 1 in Firefox) I still get this message when I try to open Lightroom package: “Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.pkg” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should eject the disk image. I have a feeling it has to do with 3rd-party software on my Mac OSX 10.8.2 - how do I get around that?

    If you have already tried an alternate web browser then your next step would be to try an alternate Internet connection.  Perhaps try a wired connection if you are using wireless for example.

  • "Install Adobe Flash Player" is damaged and can't be opened

    The subject line of this discussion is what is displayed when I go to try to install Adobe Flash. I have a Mac OS X 10.9.3. I had Flash downloaded for a while, but the last update wouldn't update. It would download, but then when I went to open it it would say "Retrieving Install" and the meter would remain at 0%. It never went a step beyond that. After trying many times, per the instructions of the website, I deleted Flash from my computer using the Adobe uninstaller downloaded from this site. Now that I am trying to reinstall Flash I keep getting the message "'Install Adobe Flash Player' is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image". What should I do from here? I would appreciate any help!

    You should make sure you do a complete uninstall of the flash player first and then install the latest FP14 version from this link - Use http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g

  • Error Message says Preview is damaged and can't be opened.

    Whenever I try to open a file associated with Preview by double-clicking the file I get the following error message...
    If I open Preview first and then open the same file from within Preview it works fine. I've tried going into Info for various filetypes and changing the "Open with:" value to change it to something else then change it back to Preview but that doesn't change the behavior. As you can see in the error message it says "Acorn created this file on August 27, 2014"... no idea what that means. I tried deleting the Acorn app but get the same error message.
    Never seen this before and can't find anything specific to this behavior with Preview on these discussions or on the Web. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers!

    Hi MBP_Kirk ,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know this type of alert can be concerning and frustrating. There is some troubleshooting that I would suggest when you receive an error that an app is damaged and can’t be opened, however. The first attached article explains this alert and the possible cause.
    OS X: About Gatekeeper - Apple Support
    "Damaged" app. – The app has been altered by something other than the developer. This message will appear no matter the Gatekeeper option chosen.
    "App name" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.
    Safari downloaded this file on Date & Time from URL.
    For troubleshooting this situation, I would first recommend simply reinstalling OS X Yosemite on your computer. Please use the instructions located in the next attached article to complete this process.

    Best regards,

  • I tried to instal lion but my iMac says "install fail because hard drive is damaged and can't be repaired" and my only option is to restart and it immediately tries to download it again, won't let me back to any other screen.  Is there anything I can do?

    I am trying to install Lion and I keep getting a fail message that says "Mac OS X could not be installed because the disk Hard Drive is damaged and can't be repaired". It only gives me the option to restart to try again but fails every time, an no other option.   Is there anything I can do?

    I'll guess that you're upgrading from Snow Leopard? You should be able to start using your original install dvd by inserting the disc and restarting while holding the C key. Run Disk Utility from your install disc  and try to repair the drive. Then try the upgrade again.

  • Mavericks install failed, says disk is damaged and can't be repaired. Help.

    My install failed early in the setup process, and said that my HD is damaged and can't be repaired.  It reboots in install mode, I go to disk utility, and can't run repair.  I've tried to boot to safe mode, but the progress bar goes about a third of the way and it just powers off, so no way to get in to backup or do anything on this machine.  My time machine backup is old, but mostly I just have music that I can redownload from iTunes or re-rip from cd, so not worried about data loss.  So do I reformat?  How would I get an OS on there again, since there would be no way to boot up or get an OS Download onto that machine?  This is the first time I miss the old cd/dvd disk distribution.   I'm stumped, any help and guidance is appreciated.  It's a MacBook Pro if that matters.

    Have you got back to restore from if all else fails?
    Try booting from the grey restore disk that came with the Mac: disk in drive and restart holding down the 'c' key. Hopefully it'll boot, albeit slowly. At the first screen select your language and from the menu bar of the next screen choose Utilities>Disk Utility. Select Macintosh HD>Repair Disk. Hopefully DU wil repair the errors. Click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Try to restart as normal from the Apple menu.

  • This copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion application is damaged, and can't be used to install OS X.

    This copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion application is damaged, and can't be used to install OS X.

    I attempted to burn a DVD of the installer, but that didn't work (files are too big).
    Also grabbed the ESD from inside the package and it started to work, then hung on the "installing" screen.
    Here is how I finally solved the problem after redownloading it 4-5 times:
    Put my MacBook Pro into target mode and used my Mac Mini to install Mtn Lion.
    At first the installer balked saying it wasn't signed right or some such BS. I tried again and it worked fine. I now even have a recovery parition which I didn't have before.
    So in the end I have no idea what the problem was but it was not:
    A proxy error corrupting the download
    A corrupted download of any kind
    Permissions errors
    Hard drive errors
    Incompatability with RAM or my hardware
    Incompatibility of my partitioning scheme
    I think there is a bug in the "pre-flight" checks the installer does prior to doing its job.

  • When installing mountain lion on my computer, why does it say "OSX Mountain Lion couldn't be installed, because the disk \ is damaged and can't be repaired."

    I'm unable install mountain lion on my computer. Every time it says "OSX Mountain Lion couldn't be installed, because the disk \ is damaged and can't be repaired. Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again." So I press the only button listed as an option, it restarts, and the same screen comes up again. I can't make mountain lion go away...I've tried many times. What is wrong with my computer? It's stuck like this and I can't even get snow leopard back on there if I wanted to because I can't get away from the same screen. Please help : (

    Insert your OS installer disk in the optical drive. Power the Mac down by holding down the power button. Then power back up and hold down the 'c' key so the MBP boots to the installer disk. From Disk Utility you should do a Repair Disk. If DU successfully repairs the disk quit the installer and reboot your Mac. You should update to 10.6.8 prior to upgrading to ML.

    Then do your ML upgrade install.

    cannot install mountain lion. error "This copy of the Install OS X Mountain Lion application is damaged, and can't be used to install OS X."

    You do meet the hardware requirements. Otherwise you wouldn't have been able to purchase ML.
    If you're connected wirelessly to your router, connect with Ethernet.
    If you're connecting through a proxy, connect directly.
    Boot in safe mode (shift key down at startup) and try again.
