Lion will not install

My computer crashed. Installed new hard drives in Raid configuration. Downloaded Lion from Apple. have 10.6.8. Previously had 10.7
Now 10.7 refuses to install.
Any suggestions?

Don't try to put 10.7 on a RAID. it does not Install, and it is a waste of drives to RAID the Boot Volume.
If you want performance, establish a separate Boot drive with only System, Library, Applications, and the hidden Unix files including Paging/Swap. Using a fast rotating drive will give that setup a boost. Using an SSD gives it an even bigger boost. Move User files off to a Data drive (or two, or three).

  • TS2986 I installed Snow Leopard, upgraded it to OS X 10.6.8, paid for and spent the hours necessary to download Lion, but Lion will not install.  Even though it says the requirements are 10.6.6 or greater, when I try to install, it says I need 10.7.

    I installed Snow Leopard, upgraded it to OS X 10.6.8, paid for and spent the hours necessary to download Lion, but Lion will not install.  Even though it says the requirements are 10.6.6 or greater, when I try to install, I get a message saying I need 10.7. to install Lion.  What should I do?

    Hi..
    Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OSX v10.6.6 or later (V10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available spare
    From here > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
    If your Mac meets the requirements, installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo reinstalls the App Store for you which may help.
    Restart your Mac after instaling the combo installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.
    If you have anti virus software installed, you may need to disable that in order to install Lion.

  • OS X Lion will not install

    I have purchased OS X Lion, and, the program will not install on my 2007 IMAC currently running Snow Leopard. I get a message stating a recovery system cannot be created. I am also running bootcamp on my Mac.

    I had the same problem.  10.6.8, Bootcamp with XP and Parallels and 400GB free space.  "recovery system cannot be created" I tried all the Apple help topics and forums with no success. The only way to get it to install was to delete the bootcamp partition.  Unfortunately this also meant that I couldn't reinstall XP as it can't be installed under Lion.  I still think it was due to Parallels but I can't prove it.
    I wish I didn't keep trying to install it, though.  Lion is the worst OS ever created by Apple.  I've been with OS X since Cheetah (10.0), and Lion was the only version that made me go back out of necessity. I could live with Rosetta and peripherals that are no longer supported.  What I can't live with is bugs like no search in mail, display issues, mouse issues, programs opening old documents at launch even though its been turned off, apps changing file extensions, incomplete results in Spotlight, etc..  It wasn't stable enough to even bother to try any of my third party apps.  I didn't even get far enough to find out if I had the wifi or samba bugs that most have.
    Lion turned my iMac into a buggy, unstable, 27" iPad. Everything has been oversimplified and hidden. iCal and Address Book have been crippled.  Even simple things like Spotlight showing the path to a file (that is if it can find anything) have been removed. Everything Lion "replaced" has been made less functional, like iCal, Address Book, Spotlight, Spaces and Expose.  Everything Lion "added" is nothing but gimmicks, like Launchpad.  Then there's the removing things for no reason, like Frontrow. To top it off, 10.7.1 fixed absolutely nothing.
    The best advise is to keep the Lion installer tucked away until the 10.7.5 update comes out. Maybe by then it will be stable enough to be used for anything other than a toy and maybe you'll be able to install it without trashing your bootcamp partition. Till then, enjoy the superior functionality of Snow Leopard.

  • Mountain Lion will not install on MBP (late 2011) Macintosh HD: "This disk cannot be used to startup your computer"

    Tried to upgrade from 10.7.4 on relatively new MBP. It appears that Mountain Lion successfully downloaded from App Store. However, ML will not install to the hard drive because "This disk cannot be used to startup your computer". Thanks for advice.

    Try going through the steps described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3926.

  • Mountain Lion will not install says HD is time machine back up but it isn't

    I downloaded ML and it state will not install as HD is time machine back up but it is not, I have another external drive
    for time machine back up.
    I have OS 10.6.8 which a I read the information should be what is required to intall ML.
    How can I get the program to recognize that my HD is not the back up disk?

  • Mountain lion will not install because time machine uses hard drive for back up.  What should I do?

    I have downloaded Mountain Lion but it will not allow me to install because the time machine uses the hard drive to back up.  How do I solve this problem?

    Unless you are trying to install on an external hard drive that actually has been used for Time Machine backups, this is usually caused by having a folder named "Backups.backupd" on your hard drive somewhere. It may be at the root level of the hard drive, but may also be elsewhere. Try searching for it, and then delete it. (You shouldn't need it.)

  • Mountain lion will not install - messages says the hard drive is for time machine

    basically i have gone thru the install process

    I have 3 drives that show up

    bootcamp

    it will not let me pick any drive(have not tried bootcamp)
    it says that this drive is being used by time machine

    Your Mac has a directory named Backups.backupdb located on it.  If you have good time machine backups somewhere else, you can delete the directory and ML will allow you to select the drive.

  • Lion will not install on a January 2008 Mac Pro (3.1)

    I have a January 2008 Mac Pro (version 3.1) and I'm trying to install Lion on one of the hard drives in the main chassis. It has consistently failed.
    I have tried:
    Reseating memory
    Reseathing hard drives
    Zap PRAM
    Reset SMC
    Downloaded 4 fresh copies of Lion from the App Store
    Install from the installer file
    Install from a DVD made with InstallESD.DMG
    Yet, it fails consistently.
    I have 5 log files I'm willing to share, but they almost always look like this one. Some of them fail on different pkg's, but in general, this one seems to be the most regular failure. It's like the filesystem just dies in the middle of the install.
    Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.

    I figured out the problem.
    This is going to sound a little crazy, but I've spent a lot of time on this one.
    There's some kind of incompatibility with Lion and Seagate ST31000340AS drives. I was trying to install Lion on these drives and it would consistently fail. I've also tried to use these drives in a RAID volume. No go. I tried three different drives of this model. All of them failed.
    I tried to install Lion on a Seagate ST31000528AS and it worked first time and sings beautifully.

  • HT201316 Mountain lion will not install and sends me to support/no-recovery

    I can't load Mountain Lion since it doesn't support recovery  any way around this glitch

    Hi,
    I had the same problem, unable to install Mountain Lion due to recovery problem. After a long investigation I found out that my Recovery HD partition was only 613.6MB and it should appearently be 650MB !
    --- BEFORE ---
    $ diskutil list
    /dev/disk0
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *120.0 GB   disk0
       1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s1
       2:                  Apple_HFS Macintosh HD            119.1 GB   disk0s2
       3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             613.6 MB   disk0s3
    What I did to solve this was to delete the Recovery HD partition using the following steps:
    * In terminal window write the following: defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled 1
    * Go to Disk Utility where you now should have debug menu. Select the option to show all paritions.
    * Delete your Recovery HD partition.
    * Make sure that you have at least 650MB free on your OSX drive. If not decrease the size of your OSX partition.
    * Install Mountain Lion and it will then automatically create a new Recovery HD partition.

  • Mountian Lion will not install

    I have been trying to install Mountian Lion and the installer program works fine, but when it goes to restart my MacBook Pro just restarts normally without installing Mountian Lion.  What am I doing wrong?

    Have  you tried re-downloading Mountain Lion? You will need to remove the installer application from the Applications folder to do this.
    As an add-on suggestion:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - 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.
    And, if this doesn't get it to install properly consider reinstalling 10.7.5:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the 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.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Lion will not install. tried everything... i think.

    followed every 'get ready for lion' guide on the web.
    tried out every forum and blog troubleshooting suggestion I could find.
    meets the system requirements
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM
    30 GBs free space
    repaired and verified my disk
    repaired and verified my disk permissions (from snow leapord install dvd)
    backed up using Time Machine
    tried installing normally from the app store, and then from an a USB drive
    tried deleting the install app and re-downloading it
    tried a double hard restart
    where im stuck is right after the restart
    it begins installing, says 'about 33 minutes remaining', but doesn't progress at all.
    checked the install log, and the last two lines say:
    13 Jul 20 18:57:07 localhost OSInstaller[352]: Can not connect to /var/run/systemkeychain.socket: No such file or directory
    13 Jul 20 18:57:07 localhost OSInstaller[352]: PFPackacge::packageWithURL - can't instantiate package: /System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg
    help is greatly appreciated

    and now I feel very silly.
    apparently the install was just very slow. there was no error. I waited maybe 30min to see that it had progressed about 20%.
    I'm one of those guys who will never again let my computer sit for 4 hours and come back to see 0%, but I guess this time, I just over-anticipated error.
    don't know if you guys have different problems. try all the things I did above. if not,
    patience was my solution.
