Installation goes to Utilities and will not install Lion

I had no problems installing Lion on my MacBook Pro , but in my Mac Pro Xeon Nehalem procesors , it goes to the Utilities and does not proceed to install it in my Hard disk , there are 2 discs both with the latest upgrades and I have run permission repairs , and cheked them without finding any problems at all . Any suggestions?

Well I’m responding to myself, LOL, after hours and curses, I re set the PRAM on my MAC Pro and all is well,Lion installed on both internal discs without a hic cup . So if anybody reads this, and has a similar problem , make sure to do that , PRAM re set , 3 chimes, and by the way it works better with a not wireless keyboard. Thanks anyway .

    I am having a issue installing Adobe Acrobat XI.  I am running Windows 8.1. When  go to install it gets an error.  The error is with transform in registry and will not install product. I am looking at how I can fix this registry problem.
    I have tried to uninstall all Abode Acrobat installations but one file remains and refuses to be uninstalled. It gives me this error : Error applying Transforms . Verify that specified paths are valid. It was installed on Sept 18 2014.  I have downloaded a Transform update but it tells I do not have a Adobe Acrobat product installed. 

    Hi all,
    Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
    I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
    When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
    When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
    Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
    I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
    Please help !
    Regards,
    Vipul

    I hit the same problem except I had a Reader X installed not a pro version.  For me the solution was to really make sure that nothing else was running.  I followed the steps from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso2 the link is goofy so here is the pertinent text:

    I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.

  • I erased my HD and could not install lion. if I turn on the mac now all I see is a folder with a question-mark. How can I install a new operation system?

    I erased my HD and could not install lion. if I turn on the mac now all I see is a folder with a question-mark. How can I install a new operation system?

    Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • My iMac (10.6.8) goes to sleep and will not wake up without a hard reboot.

    My iMac (10.6.8) goes to sleep after 2 or 3 hours (even if im working at the time) and will not wake up without a hard reboot. 
    Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    What all USB or Firewire devices do you have connected?
    Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if sleep/wake works OK in Safe Mode.
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Brand new update of sync loops restart and will not install oct 8 update

    my latest firefox 3.6 auto updated sync and it loops the restart command but will not install the update to sync. no other instructions. i have to cancel update to get sync back. i do have another computer on the home network. all else is standard and simple desktop set up. i have win 7 x64 bit prof.

    I had the same situation, but what I forgot was that my laptop also had Evernote installed.  If I hadn't gone back and updated the laptop, them my system was still vulnerable. My desktop showed the updated version installed, but the store kept saying I needed to update it.  I posted on this forum and it was suggested I check for installion on a different device.  As soon as I updated on the laptop, the message from the store went away.

  • Adobe Air crashing Win 7 and will not install

    My problem began with me trying to do a full system scan on my computer with a few different programs and it failing 5% in. Each program stopped at Adobe
    AIR files. So I googled Adobe AIR and noticed that there were viruses running under that name, so I called McAfee and they told me that there was a problem
    with Adobe Air. I have tried to uninstall and nothing happens. I have tried to install the latest update and it will say "installing" for a couple of hours with no
    progress showing in the line, so with my lack of patience I cancel update and even the CANCELLING window stays up until I use the task manager to close it! At
    one point i had my computer tell me that Adobe AIR was corrupt. HELP ME PLEASE!!
    SINCERELY,
    FRUSTRATED MOM

    For install issues, we always request the corresponding log files. That, plus a host of additional install troubleshooting information, is at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403150.html. Could you please attach the installer's log here.

  • Windows says the itunes download file is corrupt and will not install

    Im trying to install itunes on my new windows 8 pc.  It seems to recognize my software and takes me to a download the 64 bit file (iTunes64Setup.exe).  Once the download completes, the file appears in my windows download manager with the message "The signature of this program is corrupt or invalid".  If I right click and chose install anyway, I get a message saying that Windows prevented this from running.
    I then found the 32bit download file (iTunesSetup.exe).  I get the same results as above.  Any ideas how to fix this?

    I get that all the time with all sorts of programmes.  I normally shut down my pc, unplug it, wait for the light to go out on the back, plug back in reboot and it works (with most of my downloads) try this, it might fix it, it might not.  I tried this the other day after it kept telling me it was corrupt, then it came down and installed fine.  I do this now with every update of every program, if I forget they will all say they have an 'invalid signature' or 'corrupt from source file' etc.  Hope this helps you.  Also I have to do this before I download music as well, because otherwise it seems to come down with the stupid DRM still on the file, meaning I can't put it on my ipod, convert it or even play it on my system.

  • Windows 8.1 erased and will not install.

    I successfully installed windows 8.1 to my laptop in-between 7 pm - 11 pm  August 9th of 2014, then in-between 6 am - 8 am August 10th of 2014 my
    laptops power cord unpluged on its own as usual and died. I then powered up my laptop and it said the laptop was not shut down properly. Once
    i got it back on and working, my operating system was back to windows 7. So I tried to install windows 8.1 once again but it fails each time. 
    Below is my installation process step by step:
    I put in my windows 8.1 installation disk.
    I run my windows 8.1 installation disk.
    I then enter my correct windows 8.1 product key "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" 
    Wait for windows to verify product key, which is verified every attempt.
    I proceed,
    It asks me if I want to keep personal files or keep nothing,
    I choose to keep my personal files,
    I click next,
    I then agree to the license agreement,
    I click install,
    Installation begins,
    And then at 51% (on all of my attempts) a notification box appears stating that my installation of windows 8.1 has failed and below text is a "OK" button which you have to click to go back to your
    desktop.
    There is no information on why windows failed.
     I don't understand why this is happening. What could be causing my windows 8.1 to fail installation?

    Hi,
    Please share more details about your issue for us to offer a better assistance.
    1. What do you mean about “Once i got it back on and working, my operating system was back to windows 7. ”
    2. Do you rollback to Windows 7 after your failing to install Windows 8.1?
    Please refer to the following article for troubleshooting.
