Install MAC OS X always fails
It just says To setup the installation of MAC OS X, click continue then agree to terms and conditions select which dick to install to MAC it starts installing then comes up Mac OS X lion could not be installed, beacause the disk MAC is damaged and cant be repaired What can i do to fix this
If the disk cannot be repaired then that means:
1. The disk has failed and should be replaced.
2. The disk is badly corrupted and needs to be reformatted.
I assume you are running Snow Leopard, so you need to do the following:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Adobe Creative Cloud package fails to Install - Mac OSX Mavericks
I've been trying to get the Adobe Creative Cloud package that I had built with the Creative Cloud Packager installed onto a staff member's Mac but it always ends with "The Installation Failed" (No error code or explanation). If I watch the Application folders while it's running, Dreamweaver CC 2014 and Flash Builder 4.6 pop up but then get removed and then the installation fails. I have already run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, renamed the OOBE folder, and tried the installation with a newly created admin account. The package installs just fine on other Macs, but this one did have older versions of Adobe Software from CS5 and CS4 installed. I uninstalled them but my guess is that there's left over files somewhere causing a conflict.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank You!I managed to find a solution to the problem. I ended up uninstalling every Adobe related application and then went through the user/library and system/library and removed everything Adobe from the Application Support and Preferences folders. Unfortunately, I do not know what application or file was ultimately causing the issue.
Thanks again! -

Images pushed to a mac using OS X Server's netboot service always failes
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this post. My organization reworks/upgrades many Macintosh computers so we have setup the Netboot Service to push out net install images. I can create a disk image for the client's computer, compress and scan for restore, use the System Imaging Utility to prep it for the netboot service, and enable it in the Netboot imaging pane. This works without a problem. When I try to push the image out to the target computer the checksum always fails. I've tried not scanning for restore, checking the checksum in disk utility, repartitioning the drive, and several other possible problems but I can't get rid of the checksum error. All the computers I am working with are PPC Macs. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be causing this? If you need any information just ask.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)I was trying to use a compressed disk image with the "verify destination after installing" checkbox set in System Image Utility. As soon as I used an image that was not compressed it worked.

Hi guys, I downloaded this new iOS7.1 but it always fails to install. It says I am not connected to the Internet while I have all the network and second excuse it gives is that the software update is currently unavailable. Please help.
Hi Romantilizer,
Hook your phone up to iTunes on the computer you sync with and do your update from there. This is a robust iOS release, and doing it OTA is not always successful. I tried on my iPhone a couple of times, and it aborted the update twice. Did it via the Mac, and it was fine.
It takes a bit of time, so hook it up, make sure it is updating your phone, and then find something else to do for a couple of hours.
Cheers,

Hi,
I've been trying for days to download Windows support software via Bootcamp assistant but it always fails with message 'Can't install windows software because it is not currently available from the software update server.'
Anyone else had problems or success with this?
Thanks in advance.9thdoc wrote:
I'm getting a similar but distinct error message in snow leopard: Download could not continue. "The windows support software is not available" and have no original snow leopard instal disc with me.
Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it. -
I bought Adobe Design & Web Premium CS6 from an online store. I try to install the program but it pup out said to Adobe support manager. I try to key in the serial number but always fail. Could you tell me what should I do? Thanks!
using Google to read reviews, I would not buy from that site Google
added... click the google link I provided and do some reading about that site
When you buy from another site instead of direct from Adobe you need to check first to be sure the site is an authorized reseller (such as Amazon)
You are now going to have to get support from the place you bought if the serial number you were given by that site does not work -
While trying to re-install Mac OS X, appears the following screen:
Install failed
Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer
The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.
Contact the software manufacture for assistance.
Click Restart to restart your computer and try installing again.You should be able to install Mac OS X 10.7 or later on your 2011 MacBook Pro without issue, if it came with 10.6.3 as your signature suggests. Mind you, any 2011 MacBook Pro must use the original 10.6 installer disc labelled MacBook Pro if it desires to have 10.6 installed on it. The retail installer disc will not work on that model, nor will one from another age MacBook Pro, or other model labelled installer. Also
10.7 came both on USB Flash drive and Mac App Store installer versions. Both required either 10.6.6 minimum be pre-installed, or no Mac OS X operating system on the drive or partition it was to be installed on.
10.7.1 through 10.7.5 combo could be installed only once 10.7 had been installed. A combo update is available for installing on top of any version of 10.7. Otherwise only the preceding version could be updated to the next.
10.8 came only on Mac App Store installer. It is available only to 10.6.8 and later users.
10.8.1 to 10.8.5 combo could be installed only once 10.8 had been installed. A combo update is available for installing on top of any version of 10.8. Otherwise only the preceding version could be updated to the next.
10.9 came only on Mac App Store installer. It is available only to 10.6.8 and later users.
Both 10.9 and 10.9.1 had a serious security vulnerability, which only 10.9.2 addressed.
10.9.2 combo could be installed only once 10.9 had been installed.
For all three Mac App Store releases, the partition to be installed on had to be GUID partition formatted according to Apple Disk Utility. -
Hi all,
my macbook pro became extermily slow for some reason, I rebooted it many times and same problem so I decided to reinstall the Mac OS X lion from the internet.
I tried installing lion internet recovery, it downloaded it and restarted. I got the "Install Mac OS X" window. then while installing I got the sad message " Install Failed Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer" and the only botton is "restart". Everytime I restart I gor the same message. Now I am trying to start from the harddisk but I does not show when you start the pc, keep clicking the "alt" botton. It only shows "Mac OS X Installer" and "Recovery HD". What Should I do?
I appreciate your help. Thanks.Thanks Baltwo.
I could format it and get the back up from time machine but it is not up to date so I want to leave it at last.
I tried to back it up on external hard drive and got an error, tried CCC for back up and error again.
Just wanted to do an update on the subject. Still trying to get it back. -
Installing Profiles always fails
We are currently using 2 profiles on our iPad carts adn deploying them with Apple Configurator. The first just contains our wireless information. The second is a profile for Meraki Systems Manager. It looks like the Meraki Profile is the one that always fails.
The only way we can get it to work is to install just the wireless profile. Then go to each iPad and pass through the lock screen, then reconnect all the iPads and install the Meraki Profile. This is a major inconvenience.
To me it looks like it needs the wifi for it to work, but don't understand why or if that is even true.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.A little more background.
We have a cart of ipads. They are all setup with apps and profiles. They all have the wifi profile and Meraki profile. When it is time to add more apps, we go ahead and add the apps to our 'Master' ipad. We place the apps in the correct folders. Then we go ahead and backup the 'master' ipad using Apple Configurator. Then we go ahead and restore that backup to all the ipads to install the apps and place them in the correct folders. We keep both the Wifi and Meraki profiles checked for this process. They will always fail when installing the profiles. I understand that it is because the wifi is not connected. Is there a way to get this to connect? It is really a pain to have to unlock all of the ipads before installing the Meraki profile. How long does the wifi profile take to go into effect and connect? Would it work if we just installed the wifi profile with the restore and then waited a few minutes and installed the Meraki profile?
Thanks -

Internal hard drive failed - install Mac OS X on external firewire?
Hi, hope someone can help me.
The other day my internal hard drive in my MacBook started to click. I did a hardware test, and the drive now doesn't show up at all, either in the test or when I go to install Mac OS X.
Is it possible to buy an external Firewire hard drive, and install Mac OS X on it, even though the internal hard drive isn't recognised?
Here is the external hard drive I was going to buy http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digital-Premium-External-Firewire/dp/B000F6SGB4/ ref=sr11/203-7120413-7742330?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1174334464&sr=1-1
Also, is there any thing else I need to know before I do this...
I need to boot from an external hard drive as I cannot go to an Apple store to get it fixed and I am not really in a position to send it off for repair, as I am at Uni.
Thanks for your help!You need to call AppleCare Support and get the hard drive replaced. None of the MacBooks are a year old yet, so they're all still covered by the original one year warranty. This sounds like a problem that should be covered, why bother with an external drive? If you're not willing to be without it, yes, you can install Mac OS X to a FireWire or USB 2.0 hard drive and run your MacBook from that.

P.S. If I were you, I'd spend the extra £15 and get the 320GB version of that drive. I'd get as big of a drive as you can!
