Installing Mavericks Failed

Hello to everyone. I need all your help, i`m trying to install Mavericks on my Macbook Pro late 2008. But my problem is this:
Once I download Mavericks the computer started installing it but then it`s and got message saying installation failed.
any words from the experts.

You may have a corrupted HDD or a corrupted system you are trying to upgrade. I would give this a try:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. 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 your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
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.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Try the installation again. However, before you do I suggest you make a copy of the installer in your Downloads folder because when the the one you now have is finished it will automatically delete itself.

Clean install mavericks failed. No bootable USB drive either. Help please.

HI guys I really would appreciate some help here.
i Saw on apples site how to do a clean install of mavericks. In disk utilities I erased my osx drive and began The download of a fresh copy. I didn't back up my files as I was going to manually install my applications etc. When the download finished and it tried installing mavericks it failed, I restarted as it was the only option and it failed again. I ran disk repair and it said everything was ok. I only have Internet access at the cafe near where I live so only have it during the day. I checked online with my iphone for similar troubles and found everyone mentioning making a bootable USB version but... As it did not say that on the mac website where it showed how to erase and install a clean copy I never made a USB copy. I'm left with my macbook not able to install my os. Please can anyone advise, I have no way of getting to a Genius Bar and there is no mac service repairs in my area.
I'm now using Internet recovery. I rebooted with option-command-r. A globe came up, I am now downloading mountain lion. Is this the right procedure now or am I wasting time as I only have a few hours left in the cafe with my macbook on? Thank you in advance.

ps- I had mavericks up and running on my previously but wanted to basically clean my system of preference files, unwanted folders etc etc. Lesson learnt. I just need advice on the steps I must take to have my system working again .

What you are doing now is the correct procedure, install the Mac OS X that came on the machine. From that you can have a working machine and then install Mavericks again.
Building a bootable/installable Mac OS X on a USB drive is time consuming and not necessary for most users...it is not difficult but it takes time and precision to get it right. Perhaps something to do in the future when you have the time.
Using a coffee shop internet connection is not a good idea for installing Mac OS X...you need a good, solid internet connection to do that, one that is reliable and offers sufficient bandwidth. But you don't have much option at this point since you say an Apple store and the genius bar is not available to you.
Finish the Mountain Lion install, reinstall your applications, get the Mac up and running well, then do the Mavericks install on top of the Mac OS X you have.
You would do well to get an external hard drive, great ones are available from OWC http://www.macsales.com and make a good backup of your entire system as soon as you are finished installing Mac OS X. If you make the external a bootable copy, such as by cloning with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper, you can always have a working computer...life will be much easier with that.
Good luck building Mountain Lion, and get the system running again before upgrading Mac OS X

Installing Mavericks produced "a connection error occurred" in Mail and "connection failed" in App Store

Dear Apple Support Community!
I installed Mavericks OS X on my iMac immediately after it was released. I was soon starting to experience trouble with logging in to Mail and App Store. After contacting Apple Support and trying various tips and tricks to no avail, like re-installing Mavericks for instance, I just decided to wait for an update of the OS X to see if that would solve my problems. Unfortunately, that didn't help either.
I therefore turn to the Apple Support Communities in hope of expert help that will solve my problems.
Here are the actions that result in error messages:
Mail > Choose a mail account to add > Google > Continue > Name/Email Address/Password > Set Up > A connection error occurred.
App Store > Sign In > Apple ID/Password > Sign In > Connection failed.
I have three accounts on my computer:
System Administrator, Guest Account and Other.
I use the “Other” account as my regular account. When I log in to the System Administrator or Guest Account I don’t experience any problems; Mail and App Store work as they should.
Booting in safe mode does not solve the problem:
I disconnected all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and removed all aftermarket expansion cards. I booted in safe mode and logged in to the account with the problem.
I tested the said actions while in safe mode. The problems were the same.
After testing, I rebooted as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verified that I still had the problems.

I have had somewhat similar problems as Øystein Ange since upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mavericks in January. But fortunately, I have been able to solve many of them after a lot of trial & error, frustration and sweat! I now long for the more than 2 years of previous Snow Leopard usage when problems were small, few and far between, and quickly solvable. I feel as if Apple has cut me adrift and left me to struggle on my own with the seemingly numerous problems of getting the performance of Mavericks to finally stabilize on my iMac.
Øystein's Feb. 8th post asks some of the same Mavericks questions that I still have. It would be very helpful to me, and to others I'm sure, if someone/anyone has specific suggestions or solutions on what one could/should do to fix specific problems with newly installed Mavericks OSs, short of a clean, full re-install of the OS.
I have one admin account plus the guest account on my iMac Mavericks. Does this mean my admin account is a/the root account?! How can one tell whether or not they are logging in with a root account?! What's the distinction between the root account, a user's admin account, and other standard users' accounts?! Could someone please recommend a definitive Apple document describing all the various types of Mavericks accounts, in detail, and how/when/where/why each type should be used before or along with any of the others?
Why is it suddenly a no-no to log on to Mavericks via the root user account, when previous OS versions had no problem with this?! What's the purpose of the root user account if not to use it to log on to the computer?! If it's so dangerous, why isn't it internally safeguarded from inadvertent logins by casual users?! What damage or harm are we talking about, and why weren't personal-use customers given a big warning about this apparent "booby trap" in Mavericks?! Saying NEVER DO THAT is like closing the barn door after the horse has already bolted, and it explains nothing to the casual user.
We can't just do a clean re-install every time something in Mavericks hiccups?! Based on my recent experience, and on what I'm seeing in this thread, I would have had to re-installed it a half dozen times in the past 2 months alone!! That's nonsensical. There's got to be a better way of fixing a newly installed Mavericks OS than doing a re-install over and over again. Why don't the Mac diagnostic and troubleshooting tools work in Mavericks' case, as they have done for me on many occasions on earlier OS versions?! What is it about Mavericks that makes it different this time?! Could it possibly have something to do with integration of Mavericks and iCloud; and, if so, what specific cautions should the casual user observe to make sure they don't jeopardize the integrity of Mavericks by doing something similar to logging in from the root account?!
Many customers need to be brought in out of the dark! Is there an Apple Mavericks expert out there who can advise the customer community on specifically how to apply the existing repair tools to solve specific Mavericks teething problems, without having to revert to multiple OS re-installs?

HT5381 I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and attempting to upgrade to Mavericks....installation completes and a message appears stating that my computer will restart in x seconds. I then get a message "Application install OS X Mavericks failed to quit". A

IMac upgrade from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks errors by failing to restart computer........after install message states that "your computer is restarting in x seconds"...then window appears that "application install OS x Mavericks failed to quit"...try to log out again, quit install OS x Mavericks and choose apple menu to log out...........this does not work!

Are you running OS X Server (the forum this question was posted in), or are you running OS X? If you're not sure what that difference is and why I'm asking it, then you're probably running OS X and are very likely not running OS X Server here.
Hopefully you have a pre-upgrade backup of your data, on the off chance something has either already gone badly wrong already, or if something goes wrong with the following...
To force the quit here and to force the shutdown here, press and hold the power button for ~10 seconds.
If you don't have a backup already and if the box doesn't reboot, then you'll want to boot from the 10.6 DVD (of OS X or OS X Server) and create a backup — it won't be a particularly good backup of the OS X or OS X Server system, but at least you'll have access to your own files and related data. This backup because recovering from a badly-failed upgrade might involve reinstalling OS X.

I recently installed Mavericks on this iMac and upgraded to Adobe Cloud 2014 now InDesign CC 2014 fails to launch and I get a crash report. Has this happened to anyone else?

I recently installed Mavericks on this iMac and upgraded to Adobe Cloud 2014 now InDesign CC 2014 fails to launch and I get a crash report. Has this happened to anyone else?

It isn't happening to everyone else, but if there was a trend of it happening to a lot of people, that would probably show up in the official InDesign user forum. But there aren't a lot of crash reports there, so it isn't something that's happening to everyone. There are a couple, so you might look at those. But since there is not a huge wave of crash reports, the problem might be more related to a problem on the system rather than a problem with InDesign, like a corrupted font.
The best place to troubleshoot is probably over at the Adobe forum since the users there know InDesign very well.

Mavericks Install says failed - what do I do?

Hi, i'm very worried about loosing all my important data...
I was installing Mavericks onto my macbook and it came up with a message saying install failled because my hardrive was damaged. I then pressed continue and it then gave me a few options about what to do. I clicked on disk utility and repaired the disk successfully under the "first aid" tab and next to it is a button saying "restore". When searching for an image to restore from i can see all my files.
Should i restore from an image ( i don't fully understand how to do this btw) or is my data safe already because my disk is repaired. What do I need to do to make sure my computer goes back to normal, with all my data, i don't really care about having mavericks.
Thanks
Any help would be appreciated.

When you used Disk Utility did you first reboot the computer from your Recovery HD? From what you described it seems you did not, and if you didn't, then you could not actually repair your hard drive. May I suggest the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
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.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your OS X volume (usually, Macintosh HD) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Once the above is completed satisfactorily re-run the installer. It should still be in your Applications folder. Try installing again.

My install of maverick failed as disk is damaged and cannot repaired. I tried to erase disk but got error that disk cannot be umounted. Please help! Thank you very much.

My install of maverick failed as disk is damaged and cannot repaired. I tried to erase disk but got error disk cannot be unmounted. Please help. What can i do? Thank you very much.

First have you got a backup of your data? If not try to get one now while you have some access to the drive. The drive is probably faulty and will need to be replaced, without the backup you risk losing the data.
Have you a bootable external USB drive with Mavericks on it, if so boot from that and try and repair or erase the drive and reinstall Mavericks.
If you don't have Mavericks on an external drive, boot from you Leopard DVD ( I am presumimg your profile is correct) and run Disk Utility from there, you may be able to erase the drive and reload Leopard. You can then install Mavericks. Even if all that works you will most likely need a new drive in the near future.

Time machine backup fails now that I have installed Mavericks

Time machine "backup now" used to work flawlessly. Now it doesn't work at all after installing Mavericks. I just get an interminable "preparing backup" message.
It worked flawlessly before Mavericks installation - any thoughts?

I too have had a few failed Time Machine backups since updating to Maverick. I backup to a NAS/server and didn't used to have this problem before.

Since installing mavericks my imac keeps failing to connect to the internet

what is wrong with my mac i have just installed mavericks and my internet connection keeps failing any ideas

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
Are any other devices on the network, and if so, are they the same?
If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
Are all network applications affected, or only some? If only some, which ones?
Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
Start up in safe mode and test. Any difference?
Start up in Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Any difference?
If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

<Edited by Host>

Sorry you've decided this is a rant but the objective observer would know that all I want is a solution to at least the 3 issues mentioned. I spent the better part of 2 nights with techs that had me doing all the standard refresh items, i.e. setting the PRAM... and as time goes on my frustration grows. Last week spent days trying to find the driver software Maverick now needs and Apple is supposed to have it and doesn't. So at what point does this become a rant? I've done things the right way had mucho patience thus far and as a kicker, Apple won't let me download Mountain Lion to reinstall and rid my self of Maverick. Tell me, would you complain?

Update failed to download / install, Mavericks

I'm experiencing the following problem.
Every large update I try to download results in to a corrupt download. (WIFI and Cable)
The problems started before my upgrade to Mavericks last Friday. I had tried to install mavericks since Tuesday, but after every download I got the message that it was corrupt and couldn't install it. I then used my wife's MB pro to download the file and through Airdrop I was able to get the file on my MB pro. Mavericks installed without a lot of trouble.
Now I want to run the software update, and regardless of what I'm trying the software seems to fail during install.
I've also ran the disk utility a couple of times and after fixing it's fine. But after blocks are bad again like the next day.
I hope someone can help.

This is starting to sound like a monolog.
I think I found the problem.
So looking for
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00003ff24bcc5240
Should me that it could be RAM related. I downloaded and installed http://www.optilabs.eu/en/blog/detail/mac-memory-test-how-to-test-your-mac-os-x- ram and I booted my mac in single user mode (cmd + S)
Then I typed "memtest all"
Immediately it showed errors with RAM.
Since I have 2 x 4G RAM I removed the top one and ran the test again. It was fine!
From another mac I put in RAM into the second shelf and ran the test again. It failed!
I took both RAM mods out and put the previous second on in. It was fine!
--- So the RAM modules are both fine
I took the old GOOD RAM and put it in the second and, it failed.
Then I made sure it was really wedget in and it was fine.
Conclusion, my second memory bank doesn't make a proper connection with the second RAM module.
So now I could buy an 8 Gig single RAM unit,... (if my model supports that).

After I tried to install Mavericks on my Macbook Air, June 2012 the the drive began to fail, with the appearance at more and more frequent intervals of the spinning beach ball, I had to restart even after I wiped the drive and reinstalled Mountain Lion

After I installed Mavericks I could no longer shut my Macbook Air (mid July 2012) down, except by force quit,I was using an Apple Tv screen and Apple wireless keyboard. After that the spinning beachball kept appearing at more and more frequent intervals, even after I had wiped the drive and re-installed Mountain Lion from the Apple site. It is now almost non functional. and just three months out of warranty

Backup your data as soon as you can.
MacBook Air computers sold between June 2012 through June 2013 are known to have a high SSD failure rate and Apple is replacing them for free.
http://www.apple.com/support/macbookair-flashdrive/
You should maintain current backups. Given the known failure rate of your SSD that is especially important.

Early 2011 MacBook Pro incredibly slow after installing Mavericks

I'm really hoping someone can help me out. As per the subject line, I installed Mavericks on day one (and learned my lesson!).
Since installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro runs incredibly slow. If I open the Mail App and Safari - it almost grinds to a halt. I have the "Memory Clean" App which I now have to run constantly (it appears to help a little) and I try to only launch one app at a time where possible, but it's not really pratical.
As an aside, my MacBook ran really well with Mountain Lion, so there's little doubt to my mind that Mavericks is the culprit.
I'd be eternally grateful for any help & advice :-)

CleanMyMac is probably your problem.
CleanMyMac is crapware.
Crapware is anything that purports to "optimize", "clean", "accelerate", "monitor", or "protect" your Mac. These apps are unnecessary, poorly written, overpriced (if they were free, they'd still be overpriced), and harmful. The people who sell this stuff know this, but they keep selling it because people keep buying it. They can damage your OS and be difficult to uninstall.
I would try to uninstall it, but if that fails, you may have to erase your HD and do a clean install.
