Lion Install Error

I get this error "The software could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading.". Can anyone help me please?
I'm running on a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro with W7 bootcamp. I've reinstalled OSX Snow Leopard multiple times before but I don't know why this is occuring.

I've seen you and others post a link to this kb article. This doesn't help me.
The following article pointed me in a better direction:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20081398-263/os-x-10.7-cannot-be-installed- on-certain-drives/
I tried to go the partition route, but for some reason the operation failed.
I decided to attempt a Lion install again afterwards anyway, but once again it failed, but now my whole system was hosed and could not revert back to Snow Leopard.
I did a restore from time machine. Once that completed, I attempted to install Lion again, and ta da! it works now.
What a pain.

Mountain Lion Install Errors

I have a mid 2012 Mac Mini, The kids had used this Mac for 6 months, So I needed it back, It had OSX Lion, the idea was to erase, format and reinstall Mountain Lion, run Disk first aid, everything good.
Already had Mountain Lion on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion install went perfect last month on the MBP with a reformatted, erased drive.
So on the mini I went to the app store and downloded Mountain Lion, Installed it twice, both times a "Damaged File" error occurred, downloaded 3 more times uninterupted, still same error, restarted and downloaded ML twice via WiFi, New error, "Install Failed" both times, Downloaded ML on my MBP, made a USB stick install drive, twice with "Install Failed" error.
Do I have a 15 month old brick, I convinced my new wife that Macs are more stable and last longer as I have owned Macs since 1995, Help.

Have you tried running Apple Diagnostics to see if there are any hardware errors showing up?

HELP!!! Mountain Lion Install Error, computer won't boot!

Today I downloaded OS X Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store. Once it finished, I installed it. It rebooted and came up with the error "Install Failed, Macinstosh HD is damaged and cannot be repaired". Macintosh HD is (and has been) operating correctly, after running tests on it about 1 week ago. But, the worst part is that when I boot into the Recovery Partion of the HD, it will not let me reinstall Lion, it just comes up with the error "Error", no discription. Already called Apple, they could not fix it. Anyone else had this problem? Please help, thanks.

Same thing happened to mine today, now nothing works

Mountain Lion install error: "Cannot be installed because a recovery system can't be created". What does this mean?

How can I install Mountain Lion OS... I get error message saying a Recovery System can't be created... Any help or ideas out there?

After a week of dealing with AppleCare we discovered there was a corrupted recovery disk on my hard drive when i upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, therefore not allowing the upgrade to Mountain Lion. So ended up backing up the computer, then formatting the computer and reloading SNOW LEOPARD then upgraded straight to Mountain Lion, then restored my user files. This has worked, and am so grateful to AppleCare for their tireless help with diagnosing and helping to sort this out! they've been fantastic!

Lion install errors out with msg that software could not be verified, it may be corrupted or tampered with during download. Re-downloads produced the same error.

Tried a number of downloads of Lion and none of them would get by the error in the subject line. Help pls?

I was in your same situation with 14 downloads and 14 attempts.
You have to make sure that your Mac is booting into 64 bit mode. You can make sure of this by going into System Preferences and scrolling down to 'Software' and making sure that you are booding with 64 bit Kexts.
If not, restart while holding the 6 and 4 keys down until you see the spinning gear wheel and try installng again.
BUT, what I also did was to go into Applications, click on the Lion installer, Get Info, and give yourself custom priviliges to Read And Write.
I did this simultaneously, and I don't know what function did it, but it worked for me, with no further downloads of the installer.
Good luck!

I wish I fully understood your post, but perhaps you should try re-downloading. Are you trying to download the 10.7.3 update? If so, then try downloading OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo).

No I did not cancel the install and I ran it dozens of times. The solution that was finally successful was to copy the files/folders from the .dmg on the disk to a temporary directory. I then had to enable the root user which the instructions from Apple for Lion do not work for Lion Server which I have. I used the
this command from a terminal window: dsenableroot
I then ran the sudo from the temporary directory I copied the .dmg files/folders to: sudo Install.app/Contents/MacOS/Install
This was one of the most frustrating 5 days trying to get this software to load that I've ever had. The reason I bought a Mac was that I was told Adobe PSE and Photoshop CS runs much better on a Mac and it wasn't running well at all on my nearly 4 year old Lenovo notebook. I should have learned UNIX commands when I made my employees learn Linux. I didn't think I'd ever need this knowledge on a Mac but I was wrong.
You obviously didn't look at the error package I loaded which is posted at the beginning of my post "Error Package Support Uploaded: 00-30402-091818122011".
It is not very encouraging that I see other users with the same problem and Adobe has not issue a bulletin in the forums about loading PSE on Lion Server. The existing stock can't obviously be fixed but putting a prominent message on the forums as was done for the install issues with Premiere Elements 10. I'm pretty disappointed with Adobe at this point. I hope I will have a better experience once I get my backlog of .raw photos converted to .jpg which is why I bought Photoshop Elements 10.

I got the S.M.A.R.T. error during Lion install as well. l

I too have this issue with the LION install...S.M.A.R.T. error...more like a D.U.M.B. error. Please fix this.

A S.M.A.R.T. error is an indication your HD is failing. You can download and run SMART Utility
http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php
they have a trial you can use that should work.
Another thing you can do is run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode to see if it detects any errors.

Netflix plug in error after lion install

What is the fix for Netflix plug in error after lion install?

I reinstalled the plugin from a Netflix email, still get this problem:
I don't have private browsing on, by the way.

Lion Install Failed "The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

Not a comforting message to see...
Here are the errors just before the above message is emitted and the install ends.

If I boot to the "Recovery HD" I get a message "Installation Failed, Try re-intalling" Which would be a fine idea, but I can't because if I re-start installation from the hard drive I get the above errors.
I've burned the "InstallESD.img" to a DVD, but it also doesn't seem to work. Comes up as though I'm in the Reco

Jen,
Here's what I did to get Lion installed:
Burn the installer to a DVD and install from there. It worked for me. Here's what you need to do:
First you need another computer running at least 10.6.8.
1. On the other computer go to 'App Store' (make sure you're logged in to the App Store with the AppleID you used on the troubled computer)
2. Click on 'Purchased' in the 'App Store' window's toolbar
3. If you are on 10.6.8, and haven't downloaded Lion on that computer just click "Install" to download the installation application.
3. a, if the other computer is already running Lion, you'll need to re-download the installer.
3. b. Hold down 'Option' when selecting 'Purchased' then you click "Install"
4. When the Lion Installer starts up, just quit it. You want to work with the Installer application.
5. Find the "Install Lion OS X" application in the 'Applications' folder.
6. Hold down 'Control' and click on the application and select 'Show Package Contents'
7. Find 'InstallESD.dmg' which is in the "Shared Support" folder and copy it to your desktop.
8. Burn 'InstallESD.dmg' to a DVD ('Disk Utility' is simplest to do this).
9. Put the new install DVD into the computer that has Lion partially installed and reboot holding down the "C" key.
10. run the installer as normal, selecting your harddrive as the target.
In my case, when it rebooted to the harddisk the Lion installer started AGAIN. If this happens, let it run. Then you should be done.
Hope this helps.

My MacBook Pro, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo gives me an error message during Lion install. My Intel Duo Core is not an Intel Duo Core and cannot install Lion. I already have Snow Leopard what is the problem with Lion?

You need a "Core 2 Duo" for lion, and I'm guessing you only have a "Core Duo" My wife's macbook is also a "Core Duo" and has Snow Leapord, but cannot install Lion.....

HT4718 Mountain lion install- no recovery hd error

I am trying to install mountain loin and keeping getting"can't install-no recovery hd" error.. I have installed mountain lion on an external drive as suggested but when I try to install afterwards back on the MacBook it still says it can't install due to no recovery hd. I have been trying for 2 days now, HELP please.

I have mountain lion installed on the ext HD. I don't know if it has a recovery HD or not, I just did the install from the downloaded app. The app was on the MacBook pro drive. Now the MacBook will not boot at all. It just shows the apple logo and a spinning loading symbol but doesn't come on. I don't know how to boot from the external drive.

Question: i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

iPhoto needs to be upgraded in order to work with Mavericks. You can do that via Software Update or the App Store.
The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
Upgrading iPhoto does not involve your iPhoto Library. Your photos will still be there. But it never hurts to make a backup first.

Lion Causing Error On Install

Hello
I have been having issue installing lion on my iMAC 2010 since it was released. I have had a number of conversations with Apple Care and have not yet solved my issue.
After I downloaded Lion and clicked on the install the computer restarted and hung on a grey apple logo with a spinning wheel then a kernel panic appeared. I was able to boot to SL and repair premission and repair disk with the same results. I reformatted the computer and the same results. I then used a FireWire cable with my MBP (which took lion well) and put my iMac in target drive and installed Lion installed and all went well, after I disconnected the MBP and restarted the iMac the got the same kernel panic. I have a copy of the image on the screen, any ideas?

Problem Solved, two separate issues the Kernal Panic was being caused by a defective Trackpad and the reason I was getting the grey apple and spinning wheel and lion would not intall was due to a defective RAM chip.

App store says I have lion installed, and wont open iWork

Every time I try to open any iWork app I get an error message saying "Keynote cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Keynote works with this version of Mac OS X. (Below is the problem details and system config.) I went to apple>about this mac and I have OS X 10.6.8 installed and it had worked before. I then go to the app store and it says I have Lion installed....I never paid to download Lion and it is no installed on my mac because I have none of the new features. The copy of iWork is an academic version provided from my school and I have never had any problems with it until now. Can anyone help?
