Mac installer not working 10.7.4 Macbook Pro

My mac installer is not working ever time I try to install something I get an error message saying: this problem all started about 3 months ago when I installed osx lion

I bet the installers are already downloaded. If not download it manually on the apple site. after that try PRAM . Restart Mac, when the screen goes black and press & hold option - command -R -P and release after 3 boot tones. Then after the restart disconnect from the net and make sure the date (year) is still 2011 and install the softwares.

Office for mac 2011 not working correctly on new Macbook Pro- Help

I have a MacBook Pro from September and had One to One transfer all files/programs (including 2008 Office). I then purchased the Office for Mac 2011 program and they installed it (I guess they did not remove the older program). It has never worked correctly and I have tried to contact Microsoft to no avail.
None of the documents open with Fonts intact (Word and Excel open up blank though the graphic elements show up. I have to Select All and choose a font to make it show up.
Powerpoint is barely functional (none of the layouts actually show up when I select them, the sidebar of slides does not update as I type or try to change themese, etc. And then when I type, the program freezes and then shuts down.
I have uninstalled 2008 and 2011 and then re-installed 2011 but the same issues occur. Someone on the microsoft community told me to remove my duplicate fonts, I ddi that and the same issues still occur. My brother has the same laptop and Office for Mac 2011 and no issues.
Can someone help me basically try to start fresh- should I uninstall again? (I waas told that installing/uninstalling too many times can further the problem).
Help!
Thanks,
Bernice

You need to get some software that allows your Mac to read and write to the NTFS disk. There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, but this program has a good review, and you can try it for free. I would move everything off of your external drive, reformat it into Mac OSX extended, and use it for your Mac. You don't need NTFS anymore, unless you still have a Windows computer that needs it.

You just need to update it to the latest version. See:

No third party applications installed; no gestures changed. It just starts acting up like I described a few times a day. I'll be browsing the internet and go to switch desktops and it suddenly doesn't work.

Why is Bootcamp is not working right on my MacBook Pro (No Bootable Device)?

      I am not a computer geek but I learned a lot through reading forums and other people’s experiences. I want to use Windows 64bit in order to work on an Architecture portfolio using AutoCAD, Revit, 3DS Max, Sketchup, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I use these programs at school and on a PC and love it. I want to use these programs at home but wasn’t confortable with the Mac version so I had Windows installed on Parallels but even after upgrading my RAM to 10GB my computer was quite slow so I rather work on my projects separate from my Mac side (also, would feel less distracted) and set up Windows on Bootcamp, but I’ve encountered some issues.
        I wasn’t planning on partitioning my hard drive until after updating to Mavericks. Then I noticed I did not have the option to create a Windows 7 install disk so I reprogrammed the info.plist for the option to appear. After following all three steps, the computer restarted with a black screen that read “No bootable device – insert boot disk and press any key”
-Pressing any key didn’t help so I restarted and held the alt/option key until the booting options popped up and only got
     -Macintosh HD
     -Recovery HD
-Did not get a Bootcamp boot option so I repartitioned the hard drive to a single volume and repeated several times and still the same thing
-I tried using Disk Utility to partition, but the results were the same
-I tried using a different Windows7.iso file and still the same
-I also tried a 2.0 and 3.0 USB thumb drive for the .iso file
-Bootcamp Partition shows up on my Finder window on the side tab under ‘Devices’ and shows up on Disk Utility, but not on Startup Disk and not when I start my computer and hold alt/option.
-I did not plug in the Windows Support Software at all (I read somewhere that said not to plug in until after Windows partition boots and installs, but didn’t even get to that point)
-Had no CD nor USB plugged in other than the flash drive that carried the .iso
-I read a comment that said to copy the files bootcamp made (WINISNSTALL) to the ‘root’ of the flash drive, but that I see they are already on the ‘root’ (unless I don’t know what root is?)
-I also tried reformatting the partition on Disk Utility from MS-DOS (FAT) to Windows FT Filesystem but fails every time
-I also made a backup, and restored the computer (took hours!) and repeated everything
-After trying almost everything, I still get the “No bootable device – insert boot disk and press any key” message.
When it gets to reformatting, I have no idea what I am doing, the only reason I am trying all these methods is because of what I read on other peoples success stories and comments, but its either my computer does not work, I am missing something, or I’m not geek enough.
-Just to let you know, the first .iso I had worked on Parallels but not for Bootcamp
-I don’t think this matters but I am trying to partition my 320GB hard drive at 70GB for the Windows side. The only thing I will be installing would be the architecture programs while my projects and files would be saved on an external hard drive.
-Computer is up to date at version 10.9.1
-MacBook is from Early 2011, 13-incher
-The only method I could think of that I did not try was using a DVD to create an .iso disk because most comments said USB gave the best results.
-Should I use my Hitachi 250GB External Hard Drive 2.0 instead of a USB Sandisk 16GB 3.0 and Verbatim 4GB 2.0
PLEASE HELP ME ANY ADVICE WOULD HELP!! And Happy Holidays!

Your post is incredibly hard to read, font is way to small.
If you used Boot Camp Assistant to create a partition to install Windows to you need a REAL Windows 7 or 8 install media and license key and you have to actually install Windows on your Mac. Boot camp is only for creating a partition to install Windows and starting the Windows install from REAL Windows install media.
That Windows install media has to be a DVD disc, if your Mac has a built in DVD drive (Apple does not allow Windows to be install any other way on Mac computers that originally come with a built in DVD drive), or from a USB stick with the actual Windows install files on it (Not an ISO of the Windows install files).
So the question is did you install Windows on your Mac? It doesn't look like it from the Option key boot and the list of available Boot Devices you posted.

Trackpad not working on brand new Macbook Pro 15" not retina,

I've just got from UPS my new Macbook Pro 15" not retina. It's the basic model, without upgrades.
I've plugged it in and turned it on to go through the setup assistant, but I had to do it with the keyboard and an external USB mouse, because the internal trackpad is not responding at all. Is it normal?
Thanks!

That was the first thing I did. They told me that it was normal, but I don't believe them. They told me to wait until installation was complete and perform updates, and try after that. That's what I'll do, but I suspect I'll have to have it replaced.
Right now I'm migrating my old mac to this one. I'll update as soon as migration is complete.

External VGA monitors are not working only with my Macbook Pro 2012mid version

Hi all,
I have a macbook pro 13' 2012mid version, running the latest version of Mavericks, 10.9.2. If I connect my macbook to any extrernal VGA monitor (I have tried 4 different monitors), then the external display is detected in system preferences, but the monitor is showing only black screen (no signal). I am 100% sure, that my minidisplay port, the cable and the monitors are working properly, cause if I boot the same macbook from bootcamp win7 partition, then external monitors are working well.
I have also tried the same miniDP VGA with an older macbook pro (I think it is a model from year 2011, but also running Mavericks 10.9.2) on the same displays and the monitors are working fine. So the problem must be with in my OS X.
A have also tried some things, that I found on the net, like booting with the plugged in monitors in safe mode, reseting pram, I tried different settings for the external monitor in the system preferences (resolution, refresh rate...) but nothing helped. External monitor stayed recognized in system preferences, but with black screen and no signal.

CS5 Photoshop/Bridge/Suite not working on new Retina Macbook Pro, running Mavericks 10.9.2

I recently purchased a new Retina MacBook Pro laptop running Mavericks OS X 10.9.2. I had Apple perform a data migration of all my apps and files from my older laptop onto the new one. Now when I go to open Photoshop CS5 I receive the following error message, "Could not synchronize the color settings because of a program error." Photoshop will then open but I can't do anything in the app. When I go to quit Photoshop I get this error message: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the 'Get Info' command in the Finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders."
I am able to open Bridge, however the app in entiretly is noticeably lo-res and pixelated looking, so clearly something is not up to speed there either.
InDesign and Illustrator are also having issues.
I have run the System Update and it does not show anything in the CS5 Suite needing to be updated.
Please advise! Thank you.

I do not get the Airplay icon on my Macbook's menu bar. I have checked the box in the Display settings to show mirroring options but still no icon. Airplay Display shows 'No device Detected'. Both AppleTV and MacBook Pro are on the same physical Network (192.168.1.0/24) and connected directly to my home ethernet switch (not wirelessly). I also made sure MacBook's Firewall is disable. Airplay feature use to work before upgrade to 10.9.2. As far as Home sharing from my AppleTV has a similar issue; it just does not find my MacBook after a while of loading and searching my music library. I am logged in to icloud on both devices (appletv and macbook). Also use to work before upgrade. Any ideas or recommendations. Thanks.
