Maverick slowed my computer to molasses and now won't install

I am so mad that I went for the upgrade, it's cost me a day's pay so far trying to get it to run. At first, my Adobe apps would take minutes to open and everything was just running ridiculously slow. My iTunes would open at Login along with Excel and Spotlight was stuck in indexing mode. I rebooted in safe mode Command R and ran disc utility and went to reinstall the system again, after 48 minutes the progress bar was almost complete and I receive a warning message that the software failed to download. Aaaaarrrgfhhh%&*(())_)!!!!!
Anybody out there suffering like me?

  • Updated ipod touch to software version 51.1 and now won't install certain apps

    updated ipod touch 4th gen with software version 5.1.1 and now won't install purchased apps family guy time warp and uncensored. Help please as now i can't use my purchased games.

    What happens if you just restore to factory defaults/new iPod (not from backup)?
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem an an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Leopard completely trashed my HDD and now won't install on my MBP

    I only moved away from Windows in the summer and now I feel I'm no better off. I've just upgraded my new MBP (only a few months old) to Leopard and it failed. Not only did it fail with some Sibling Link error (which fsck_hfs -r and other internet search result recommendations failed to resolve) but it resulted in my having to completely reformat my drive!
    I then let the install disk do a format of my drive and install and now I get this "The installer was unable to create the folder BaseSystem.pkg on the volume ...." or words to that effect. So now I have a new MBP that won't boot and won't install an operating system!
    What is this? Apple's Vista?
    Is there anything I can do to get this operating system to install???

    do you have a software install disk that came w/ your computer. If so, load it up, go to disk utility, zero out your HD, and then reinstall the OS from that disk. Leopard absolutely, completely, totally, and irreversibly hosed my pbg4, so much so that not only would it not eject the fri@@@@ Leopard DVD, it wouldn't even cotton pickin' START UP, save for booting into Open Firmware.. I decided that before I trashed it, I'd try one more time to start it up, hold down the **** eject key, to see what happened. I waited 30 minutes to let myself cool off before using the **** thing as target practice and, well, what'd'ya know, it started up, ejected the Leo DVD, immediately following which I inserted the disc for 10.2.7, shut it down, started it up, it booted immediatley into the installer for that OS, I went to disk utility, zero'd out the HD, after which I went about installing 10.2.7. I'm now on my pbg4 w/ that system installed and it's working (so far) flawlessly. What an absolute crock of rat @@@@ Leopard is turning out to be. Oh, btw, on this pbg4 there were no haxies, no 10.4.10 widgets, nothing fancy, save perhaps for Nisus Express and Firefox. I have Leo on a separate HD on my g5 dual 1.8 which is exactly where it's going to stay until all those bright bulbs at Apple can figure out what the **** is going on.
    Hope you have better fortune,

  • IMac Clean install and now won't install Lion 10.7.5

    My mid 2007 iMac was haveing trouble connecting to the internet via a browser and I took it into the Genius Bar and their only suggestion was to do a clean install and then see what happens.  I wiped the computer and tried a clean install.  It wouldn't install OS X 10.7 Lion (which this computer was previously running). I took it back into the Genius Bar and they had to install 10.6 Snow Leopard.  And now it won't upgrade to Lion (that it used to run till it started having problems). 
    What's going on?
    Now, 3 weeks later, on our other mid 2007 iMac is starting to have the same issues.
    Is there something wrong with the OS?  I go to network diagnostics and it says it is connecting to the internet just fine.  But it won't connect via a browser or do software updates. 
    I go to Airport Utilities and it wants me to forget the AirPort Extreme.  Exact thing happened on the other iMac and I couldn't ever recover (or discover) the Extreme.
    Help !!!!!!!!

    You mean 2011 or do you mean Mountain Lion? Lion came out in mid 2011 and ML in 2012. And yes, 7,1 is the model identifier. Here is something I found on running the current OS:
    From this site:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-2-duo-2.0-20-inch-alu minum-specs.html
    Did you try recovery?
    Not sure if your machine would be able to qualify for the recovery disk assistant (since yours would need the assistant to create a recovery partition)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433
    If that works, you should try using the recovery option (hit Command + Option + R during restart) to connect to Apple's servers and reinstall Lion.

  • HP to Mac -- enabling scan to computer stopped working and now won't communicate

    I loved my officejet 8600 and had no problem printing or scanning wirelessly.  All of a sudden the scan function stops working.   I can still print without problem.  My printer tells me to go to my computer and "enable scan to computer".  But when I do that, it says "communication error.  Unable to communicate with device."  I did the things that HP support suggested -- downloaded new HP software.  Turned router, computer and printer off.  But problem persists.  I looked at the forum and it seems like other people had a similar problem but the posts are all from 2012 -- and I don't see any solution, the posts just end.  Some people in the string got it to work by downloading all the possible HP software, not just the minimum software -- but I did that and still not working.  What I don't understand is why it was working just fine and then it stopped?  Did some update get downloaded without me realizing it that put some kind of klitch into the works?  I want my scanning function back -- but this is above my pay grade.  Is there a way to get a live person at HP to talk to me?

  • I think my computer over heated and now won't charge! Can that happen?

    I had my laptop plugged in and I notice the charger and the computer where really hot. So, I unplugged it and started it up and everything was fine. The next day however, my computer won't charge and the bright green light that appears when you plug In does not light up. Mind you, a dim green light that is always on the charger is still there. Any help?

  • Printer installation crashed and now won't install

    Hi,
    I'm running 10.9.2 on a MacBook Pro.
    I tried to install the software for a Samsung printer and about half way through the process the laptop was closed by my daughter. I tried to restart the process but after I force quit the installation and tried again the progress bar got about half way and the 12 hours later was still there.
    I have cancelled it again as when it's on the screen I can't easily do anything as it forces to the front.
    As an aside when I restarted the Mac by desktop picture has been changed to a default one, which has never happened befrore.
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Vicki

    I have tried all combinations of home button/power button, holding for more than 30 seconds each time. Tried the home button + usb cable. But nothing is working! It's just as if it's dead, but I know it's got 100% battery so there must be some way to kick start it.

  • My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked?

    My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, I call apple support and they told me to bring it in but the nearest store is about two hours away. They said I need it to erase my hard drive but I have too many family pics on it.
    would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked on it? I could replace the internal and get an enclosure for the original until I get the pics out of it?
    Please advise, it's like five years of family pics I don't wanna loose them and I am worried.
    Thanks

    A Brody,
    I really apprecate your very quick respond, Its too late to back up as of now, my hard drive wont load at all so I cannot follow your instruction to back it up. Learn a hard lesson but I will from now on following your link.
    Also my hard drive it is not available to do the free exchange program.
    I read the OWC instruction on how to replace the drive I was just wondering if the 2TB would work on it instead of the 1 TB they offer, I specifically asked for the Seage Barracuda because I had great experiences with it on PCs.
    Again, Thank you

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library.  Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists.  Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

    Using Match as a backup for iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17039436#17039436
    In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

    i didnt get a chance to back my phone up before the comp crashed

    When you open iTunes and plug in iPhone (iPod) to computer, it appear in the left bar. Then just simply right click on you iPhone (iPod) and choose Transfer Purchases, this should copy your purchased items to your computer.
