Lion clean install stuck at loading installation information
I have a 13" Core2duo MacBook Pro with Lion installed through the Appstore. I recently upgraded my RAM and hard drive at an apple service center. Before upgrading i created a recovery USB disc using the recovery assistant app.
But now when I try to use that disc to install the OS it gets stuck forever at "Loading Installation Information" screen.
I get the same effect even if connect my old hard drive and boot into its recovery HD.
My Snow leapord DVD is in my other house in a different city.
The support center has refused to help me on this.
Please help me.
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X 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.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
If you can, boot from your old drive. After you startup clone the old drive to the new one:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external old drive. Destination means the internal new drive.

I had to have the logic board in my 7 month old iMac replaced due to the fact that my now exboyfriend put a firmware password on my iMac remotely and I couldn't get into my computer. I took it to the Genius Bar and they replaced the logic board so I wouldn't lose any of my files. I just got it back and when I turned it on, it is asking me to reinstall OS X Lion. So, after hitting continue, a box comes up telling me that they have to verify the computer's eligibility with Apple and that it is "loading Installation Information". I've been stuck on this screen for 4 hours, at a 18.25 mbps download speed. What do I need to do? Tried searching forums, but nothing really gives an answer.
Take it back to the Apple Store and make them fix it.

Lion Clean Install - No Disc Required - Recovery Partition Solution
There is a way to run a Lion clean install without unpacking the installation onto a new disc or thumb drive. It can be accomplished via a slightly longer, two-step upgrade process, which requires wiping your hard drive after you've upgraded to Lion. You must be able to connect to the internet for this option to work, as it will require downloading the install package again.
As always, be sure to back up your data before performing any sort of wipe of your hard drive.
STEP 1 - Initial Upgrade
Perform a normal Lion upgrade through the App Store. This will install Lion on top of your current configuration. It will also create a Recovery Partition, which is a new feature of the Lion OS. It is this Recovery Partition that you will use to perform the clean install.
STEP 2 - Wipe and Clean Install
Restart your computer into Recovery mode. This can be done by either holding down CMD-r during boot up, or holding down the Option key during bootup and selecting to boot from the Recovery partition.
Select the Disk Utility option from the main menu. Here you can select the main partition, click on the Erase tab at the top, and completely erase the partition. Once you've done this, quit Disk Utility Option, and you will return to the main menu.
Select the Lion Installation option. It will ask you to connect to the internet if you have not done so already (if wireless, you can do this via the Wi-Fi icon in the top right corner). It will also ask you to input your Apple ID login and password in order to verify that you've already purchased the software. The installation will take as long as it requires to download the package again. Once downloaded and installed, Lion will walk you through initial set up.
This solution worked for me, but I make no guarantees that it will work for others.I've created a boot disk (several actually) following the methods outlined in this guide.
http://www.eggfreckles.net/tech/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
I've also saved the installer dmg in several backup locations so it can be burned again fresh or transfered to bootable USB thumb drives.
The Lion install disk boots up and operates just like the Recovery Partition (Disk Utiltiy and all) with one giant benefit, you don't have to log into the MacAppStore with all it's complications or require a lenghtly internet download to install Lion.
So you won't see this annoying screen and have to wait a few hours if the servers are overloaded.
The boot disk also installs considerably faster. Two giant benefits actually.
Also once Lion is installed, Bootcamp can be used to partition the drive, then the Recovery Partiton > Disk Utiltiy used to change the BOOTCAMP partition to HFS+ journaled and then 10.6 can be installed or cloned from a external drive onto the BOOTCAMP partition.
Dual boot Snow/Lion is possible with a large enough boot drive. -

Install or Reinstall Mavericks or 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.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X

Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -
Pages question: recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents intermittently
won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. On the other Mac (running Lion), saved a copy of a document with a new name and sent it back to first computer. At first it would open, but now it as well as multiple other Pages documents won't open. What now?yes;
I got Pages to work now- there were two versions, one Universal, and one Intel- by moving the Universal to trash ( although I can't delete it) and moving Intel version to iWorks folder in Applications, it is now working. Doesn't explain why it didn't work though- the other MacBook pro 17 inch that could open all the Pages documents also has two copies of Pages as I see now....
I still however can't open Numbers documents on the MacBook pro 15 inch.... it is a Universal version of Numbers. -
Loading Installation Information Issue
I'm currently installing Lion OS after completely erasing everything on my HD due to corrupt files and a bunch of problems. I'm currently stuck on a screen that says "To download and restore Mac OS X, your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple. Loading Installation Information". I did quite a bit of research on what's going on here, and I'm aware that it's downloading the OS and it takes several hours. But it needs WiFi to download (obviously), now when the computer goes to sleep, the WiFi shuts off, is it still being able to download? I've been sitting here for hours waiting for it to finish. Any suggestions on what to do? Here's what it is showing me if you're wondering. Sorry for the crappy quality, Acer netbooks don't have a good webcam.
You should be in Lion community and/or MacBook Pro.
The tech note I found:
OS X Lion: Unable to download OS X Lion wirelessly from Mac App Store - "Your device or computer could not be verified"
Products Affected
Mac App Store, OS X Lion
Symptoms
When attempting to purchase or download OS X Lion from the Mac App Store wirelessly with your Apple ID account, you may receive a dialog stating "Your Device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance." This could happen when upgrading Mac OS X v10.6.6, 10.6.7, or 10.6.8 to OS X Lion via a Wi-Fi connection.
Resolution
Use the following steps to delete your network preferences.
Important: You must be logged in as an administrator.
Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
Choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Copy the file networkinterfaces.plist to the desktop (to make a precautionary backup).
Delete the file "networkinterfaces.plist." from SystemConfiguration.
Restart your Mac.
Create new location in Network preferences, in System Preferences.
Once your computer has restarted, you will need to refresh your network settings to be able to connect to the Internet again:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Network from the View menu.
From the Location pop-up menu, choose "New Location".
Type a name for your location and click OK.
Click the Apply Now at the bottom right to accept the changes.
If your network connection requires any special settings, you will need to enter them again.
Once you have made these changes, you should be able to connect to the Internet, open App Store, and try your OS X Lion purchase or download again.
Additional Information
This issue may occur if your Mac's Ethernet port is damaged or inoperable, even if you aren't using Ethernet to try to download Lion.

How long should Loading Installation Information take with a formatted Drive?
The OS was corrupted when installed over an incompatible 10.6 version of Centrify. It should have been uninstalled prior to installing Lion, so I was hoping to do a fresh install without restoring anything related to older applications to sort out network hang conditions. Restoring from Time Machine does not appear to offer selective restore in terms of Apps and Users.
I am now waiting for more than hour at a window over the prompt "To set up the installation of Mac OS X 10.7, click Continue" that says:
To download and restore Mac OS X, your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple. This just has a throbber spinning in front of the message
Loading Installation Information... " I have about 16mbit/sec Internet connectivity, how long should this phase of the reinstall operation take?
When I first installed Lion, a bootable image of the initial version of Lion was made that was able to restore Lion to an erased drive in about 28 minutes. It seems that image has been disabled by changes the MacBook boot flash. Is there a way to be better prepared, and how long should this process take starting with an erased drive?Sorry to hear that saga. This time download another Lion installer from MAS by going to purchases and holding the option key. When downloaded it will appear in /Applications. Save it off to several different places on your disk and off.
Also, consider keeping bootable clones with SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
That way if you have a problem, just boot up from the clone and keep on working until you're ready to fix. -

Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. -
Loading Installation Information during recovery
I erased my MacBook Pro and used recovery HD in order to reinstall OS Lion. When it checks my version eligibility, it hangs on "Loading Installation Information". I left it to load overnight and still nothing. I am using an ethernet cable and I tried my wifi, neither has worked.
Samole,
which model MacBook Pro do you have? -
After a Lion clean install, how do I retrieve my data from external hard drive?
Following Apple advice I used Migration Assistant which crashed new system twice which is why I had to clean install Lion in the first place.
Is there a sure way of doing it?
I have only a few programs that I will have to install myself and that should not be a problem.
I just want my data, music and photos back where I can use them.Time machine backups. I went to migration assistant a few hours ago and limited my selection to "users", no need for applications, settings and other files. Stuff started moving over at a fast pace but has now seemed to stall.
I will let it run overnight as there are lots of songs and photos as well as a few movies.
If that does not work, then I will go into TM and try restore. I have restored some things in the past such a mail files and it has worked well.
The Apple fellow at the store told me to go right into TM, he may have had a point. I'll get it eventually. -
Recently upgraded Mac 24" to Lion (clean install) and now no external hard disks work with Time Machine.
installed new internal disk first with fresh 10.7.3 Lion software. Also upgrade ram to 4GB. Work great, super fast.
BUT.... my WD 1TB firewire400 external disks no longer work with the Lion enabled machine now.
FURTHER... I read somewhere that WD is problematic with Lion but Seagate was not... so I went and bought a new 3TB Seagate GoFlex.
When it didnt work properly either, I patiently searched and found a software/firward upgrade and applied.
I re-partitioned disk to extened/journaled standard, etc.
Then assigned the particition to Time Machine. Drive turned the blue/grey color, so I thought it would work.
But, it has now been in "preparing" mode in Time Machine for HOURS....
What is up Apple? So dissappointed. Ive read these type of problems are notorious with Lion and I wish I never upgraded.
Are you trying to make issues with External disks, to drive people to iCloud? That trick ont work in me. I will not reward bad behaviour Apple.
Please provide a fix... I wasted hours/days screwing around with this, instead of using the Mac for what its intended!Solved by Pondini, on another thread I opened...
Answer:
Sounds like either:
A directory problem on your internal HD. Verify your internal HD, and Repair any other volumes being backed-up per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Something in OSX may be damaged. You've tried the "combo," so a fresh copy of OSX (that won't disturb anything else) would be worth a try (and you don't need a tech for that). See Installing the ''combo'' update and/or Reinstalling OSX. -
I'm attempting a clean install of OS X Lion on a 2.8 GHz iMac with 4 GB of RAM. I downloaded Lion from the app store, created a USB installer, and booted from the installer. I initiated the installation after wiping the drive with disk utility.
It's been nearly 20 hours now and the install still isn't complete. I would have thought it had hung, except that the log indicates progress as of this morning (current install log below).
Any thoughts on what's going on? Are there any red flags in the log that may give an indication of what's wrong? I pulled the log at 6:45 system time, so it's evident that it's still trying to do...something.
Thanks in advance.

Jan 11 06:44:43 localhost opendirectoryd[101]: 324.5, Node: /Local/Default, Module: PlistFile - ODQueryCreateWithNode completedI've created a boot disk (several actually) following the methods outlined in this guide.
http://www.eggfreckles.net/tech/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
I've also saved the installer dmg in several backup locations so it can be burned again fresh or transfered to bootable USB thumb drives.
The Lion install disk boots up and operates just like the Recovery Partition (Disk Utiltiy and all) with one giant benefit, you don't have to log into the MacAppStore with all it's complications or require a lenghtly internet download to install Lion.
So you won't see this annoying screen and have to wait a few hours if the servers are overloaded.
The boot disk also installs considerably faster. Two giant benefits actually.
Also once Lion is installed, Bootcamp can be used to partition the drive, then the Recovery Partiton > Disk Utiltiy used to change the BOOTCAMP partition to HFS+ journaled and then 10.6 can be installed or cloned from a external drive onto the BOOTCAMP partition.
Dual boot Snow/Lion is possible with a large enough boot drive. -
Lion clean install broke existing windows xp bootcamp partition
Hi all,
I have been trawling to get educated on this but haven't found an answer yet (except purchasing windows 7-not interested, but thanks in advance for telling me that I should abandon XP because it's over 10 years old). And also dont tell me to just virtualise, i will, but i also want to use bootcamp for better performance. Lots of people theorizing what might work, but here's your chance to see what's not working in reality (and help get it to work please!).
I had snow leopard with a working bootcamp partition running xp (also using parallels), on a late 2006 Mac book pro. Things were getting very slow so I really wanted a clean install of lion (and it has made a world of difference!)
I didn't want to lose my xp partition so here's what I did:
1-used disk utility to create disk images to backup both partitions to an external drive (using spare space on my time machine drive)
2-used my lion USB stick to perform a clean install of lion on another external drive
3-erase and restore new lion installation to my internal Mac partition (previously snow leopard)
4-use migration assistant to bring back my data and settings (not applications-doing that manually)
5-download & install relevant software updates
(note that the bootcamp partition is untouched in all of this)
I noted that at first there was no lion recovery partition on my internal drive, but it has since appeared (presumably when I used software update to install an update to lion).
I didn't test the boot camp immediately but when I try to load it now the partition shows up and I can select it but windows presents me with the boot options screen (safe mode etc). It fails under all options (starts to load then flicks a blue screen before rebooting). From the safe mode log screen it appears to me that the issue could be the partition numbering (the new lion recovery partition has changed the partition number for the windows partition and it's freaked windows out).
Question is, what's the best way to fix it? I'm reluctant to try bootcamp assistant 4.0 because I know it doesn't support xp.
In hindsight maybe I should have done a clean install of snow leopard onto the external drive, erased and restored to the internal, updated snow leopard to 10.6.8 (or whatever was necessary for lion install), checked that the boot camp partition still worked (if not fix it with boot camp assistant), then upgraded to lion (seeing as upgrading to lion when there's a working xp partition on bootcamp is supposed to work).
I could still do all that but I wonder if there is a better / cleaner / easier solution.
Thanks in advance (& sorry for the long description!)For future reference cloning can be the easy answer to preserving a BootCamp partition. I used the following procedure to upgrade 2 MBPs to Lion from SL.
Use Yasu and Diskwarrior to prepare existing Mac OSX 10.6.8 HDD.
Clone 10.6.8 Mac partition to an ext HDD with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
Restart from the cloned ext HDD and select it as the startup volume via System Preferences / Startup Disk.
Install 10.7 Lion on the cloned ext HDD
Install Lion 10.7.2 update on the ext HDD
Restart the ext HDD now with OSX 10.7 and test and adjust the preferences if needed.
When satisfied, clone the OSX 10.7 ext HDD back to the existing Mac HDD.
The Boot Camp partition will not be altered as to drive id which appeared to cause problems for a few people.
The recovery partition will be on the ext HDD and can be used for trouble shooting. A more convenient way to have the recovery/reinstallation environment is to have or create a Lion install USB thumb drive. -
Help with Mac OS X Lion clean install
I have a late 2008 15" MacBook Pro that has Lion installed which was upgraded over Snow Leopard. I have heard that performing a clean install can freshen up the system and is just generally a good thing to do. When I downloaded Lion from the Mac App Store I made a bootable disc because I heard it's something good to have just in case. I have also been backing up to an enxternal hard drive using Time Machine. So I was thinking about doing a clean install but I wanted to make sure of a few things and to get your thoughts on if it is actually a good idea or a waste of time.
I would format my hard drive then restart and hold down the option key, choose to boot from the disc and clean install. Once finished use Migration Assistant to move my data from the external hard drive with my Time Machine back ups and that should be everything done and dusted.
I know I have probably got something wrong somewhere and have maybe even got the completely wrong idea about the whole thing.
I would appreciate any help and advice, thanks.Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal 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:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer. -
