Mavericks install stuck on "downloading addons"

I`m selling my iMac, so I`m in the process of deleting it. When I rebooted into Disk Recovery, I can`t format the systemdisk. When I try, I get a message saying that the disk can`t be deactivated.
On the systemdisk I have one partition with OS X and one with Bootcamp.
I could not format the whole disk, but I could format the parition with OS X, so I did.
When restarting now, I choose "Install OS X". Logged in with my AppleID and the machine started downloading Mavericks. It was working for about 10 sec, anf then I needed to enter my AppleID again.
When that was done, I got to this screen, and here I`m stuck now:
The text is Norwegian, but it says something like "Downloading Addons. The machine will restart automatically", and this is what is has been looking like for the past 30 min. No movement in the bar...
Anyone?

News;
Turned the mac off for a couple of hours (let it cool down.)
When i  booted up I now got a question if i want to continue OSX install.
Every option in the menu seems to be responsive too. No mouse-loadng-animation.
I have 42 minutes remaining. Will post updates.
Tips to others having similar problem;
Disconnect charger, shut down power, let the machine cool down.
See if this gives results.

  • Mavericks Install Stopped After Download

    Using "App Store" I clicked on the "Install" button for the Mavericks upgrade. Following the download "App Store" showed the dialog box asking for my password and whether I agree to the terms and conditions. I entered the password and the "agree" button. The dialog box disappeared and nothing else happened. How do I begin the install using the newly downloaded Mavericks upgrade?

    Restarted download, it finished, and the install went perfectly.

  • Mavericks Install stuck?

    So I tried to install the free version of Mavericks and it downloaded, but when I restarted to install it told me it couldn't be installed and that the disk is damaged and can't be repaired. Help!

    i have the same outcome from a related problem.
    i have a macbook late 2009 (6.1). i just upgraded with a new 240gb SSD, which I installed myself. I used my old harddrive to boot from, using CMND+R. i formatted the new SSD and installed a clean version of Mavericks to the newly formatted SSD. all was well. unfortunately, i used migration assistant and it brought over user preferences i did not want. so, i want to reformat my new SSD drive, again, and reinstall Mavericks, again.
    however, taking the same steps as i described above produced very different results the second time. this time, i am unable to reformat the SSD, and it returns an error saying that it cannot unmount the disk because it is locked. i tried following other posts, which are not definitive and extremely unhelpful, and the advice of repairing or verifying the disk does not work. the error message returned when i try this is that "live repair" of the disks is not supported.
    so, to re-cap... the problem here is definitely not an old harddrive. and the CMND+R recovery has not helped me yet. i cannot revert to an older OS like mountain lion because on both the new internal SSD and the old external drives have Mavericks on them.
    i can start the computer and work in the new SSD 100%. but like i said, i want a clean install this is not negotiable. i want the old user preferences off, and i want to build my new harddrive from the ground up with only fresh downloads, apps, etc. so how can i accomplish this?

  • Mavericks install stuck at "about a second remaining"

    Hi.
    I'm making a clean install.
    The install process is stuck at "about a second remaining". And the progress barre is full and it is waving!
    Please any idea?

    I've am currently experiencing this problem too.
    I've tried several times and changed a few things alas still no Mavericks.
    First attempt instal halted at "About a second remaining" for over an hour. I did a hard reset and tried exactly the same again - no luck.
    Second attempt I re-installed the USB drive with Mavericks, erased the hard drive and tried again - halted at "About a second remaining" for over an hour.
    Third attempt same as above and now halted at "About a second remaining" for the past hour and a half ... could anyone reasure me that this install taking well over 2 hours is normal as most are only experiencing problems for 10-15 mins ...
    Thanks in Advance!

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for my iMac (Mavericks 10.9.4), downloaded it and have attempted to install it 10 or more times. I have done all the usual maintenance steps (repair permissions, repair disk, etc) and it still won't install. All goes well

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for my iMac (Mavericks 10.9.4), downloaded it and have attempted to install it 10 or more times. I have done all the usual maintenance steps (repair permissions, repair disk, etc) and it still won't install. All goes well until the installer gets to "Running Package Scripts" then it stalls or hangs up and does not finish the installation. It runs and runs and runs. It never finishes. I wind up having to force quit the installer. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Hi jtento ,
    Kindly enable the Root Account for the MAC and then try the installation there (in the root account). Please find below the URL to enable the root account.

  • Looking for "createinstallmedia" kb/5856 I do not find it on my Maverick installed system?

    With Mavericks installed and these instructions the command cannot be found?  
    Creating a bootable OS X installer in OS X Mavericks
    With OS X Mavericks, you can create a bootable OS X installer which can be used to install the operating system while started from removable media, such as a USB flash drive.
    Follow these steps to create a bootable OS X installer:
    Use the Mac App Store to download the OS X installer app.
    Mount the volume you wish to convert into a bootable installer. This could be removable media, such as a USB flash drive, or a secondary internal partition.
    Use the createinstallmedia tool to convert the volume from step two into a bootable installer based off the installer app from step one. To learn how to use createinstallmedia, execute this command in Terminal:
    /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia
    You may need to adjust the path to the OS X installer app in the above command.
    Note: createinstallmedia is only intended to be used with the version of OS X installer app it came with.

  • Do I have to have OS X Mavericks before I can download Yosemite?

    I have a Mac Book and recently tried to upgrade to Yosemite and after 3 days of downloading it said that it could not. There was sufficient memory on my laptop so not sure why it would not download.
    Do I have to have OS X Maverick installed before Yosemite can download?

    How much hard drive space is free? You need 8 GB or more of available space.

  • OS X Mavericks won't start downloading for me

    I went to the App Store, clicked the download button and then the green free install button thingy and the icon for Mavericks went to my Launchpad. It says it is downloading but I've waited for an hour and it still hasn't responded at all. When i went back to my App Store and checked if it's in my purchased tab, it wasn't. I deleted Mavericks and started to download it again but the result is still the same. Does anybody have the same problem? Please help me. Thanks.

    If you do have an iMac, Late 2012, restart the iMac holding the Command+Option+R keys so you boot from the Apple internet servers, you must be on the internet to do that.  You can then choose Install Mac OS X and reinstall your operating system.  Then proceed to go to the Mac App Store and download and install Mavericks.

  • Laptop Crashed During Maverick Install -- Need Help

    Hello Everyone,
    Before we get started, I just want to open with this info: My Macbook Pro is from 2008, and has a notorious habit of crashing... I hear what sounds like a rhythmic "ticking" sound from within the laptop, and everything on screen freezes up, and I have to do a hard-reboot. Other than that and a few graphical glitches with games, it runs seamlessly and had a good 19 GB free while attempting the update. Also to note, I have a BootCamp partition of about 30 GB for Windows XP. Additionally, I was an IDIOT and did NOT set up Time Machine or make a backup for my files, because, I repeat, I'm an IDIOT apparently.
    So I had 10.6.8 installed -- Snow Leopard... and I heard there was a new free update to 10.8.0: Maverick. Of course it peaked my interest and I tried to install, not realizing it could potentially brick my laptop! Shoulda done some research
    Anyway, here's what happened:
    The download was successful, so I rebooted my computer and initialized the installation. Everything was fine, it said it would take about 50 minutes (even though it took a LOT longer)... and the install got not even half way before my computer crashed, with the infamous ticking sound. I was like, "oh sh**" because everyone knows that a crash during a major install is not good news. After I restarted the computer, it opened up the Maverick install again immediately, and attempted to retry... but within 10 minutes, an error pops up: "Install failed: OS X can’t be installed on the disk, because a recovery system can’t be created. Visit www.apple.com/support/no-recovery to learn more."
    Of course at this point, I'm confused. I have no idea what that means. So I try to reboot to see if it would help, and the same error occured twice more.
    This time, when I rebooted, I held Alt-Option to see if I could just select my HD drive and bypass the install. Nope. The only options were this: "Windows Partition, Maverick OSX Install, recovery-(something something)"... my HD drive wasn't even listed! This made me nervous. So, I selected the recovery disk option and it opened a menu with a few options, including reinstalling OSX, disk utility... etc. So I selected disk utility. I then proceeded to select my HD drive, and click "repair" in the first aid tab. It took about 10-15 minutes, but it successfully finished, giving me a green "Disk seems ok" message. This was a bit of relief. But now that the disk is repaired, how do I access it and exit the endless loop of Maverick installation? Do I need to reinstall OSX with my original disk/Snow Leopard disk?
    Please help me recover my HD drive... I desperately need my laptop for school.
    Thanks in advance. If you need any more additional info on my computer, I will be happy to try and provide it.

    if you have no install disk, best to do fsck. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214 hopefully that will do something for you. when you say it "freezes" at startup it is hard to know what to tell you. there are different types of screens that occur with startup issues. this is an incredible article for startup issues--http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464. do not worry that it says "10.3.9 or earlier". these steps are reliable for tiger as well. i hope that works for you.[:)]

  • Sell MacBook Pro with fresh Mavericks install

    Hello everyone
    About 5 years ago I got my first Mac, a MBP late 2008. A few weeks ago I got a new one and have decided to give the old one to some family in England (I live in Denmark myself). So I deleted the data on the harddrive (7 pases cause why not) and booted into the recovery mode in order to reinstall Mavericks.
    So I needed an Apple ID in order to do so. No problem, the family gave me theirs but the installer complained about the country of the ID and hence the request couldn't be completed. Oh well, I tried again in order to somehow get a clue on what's going on.
    Now I'm met with a "This Apple ID has not purchased Lion". The original OS on the machine was Leopard, but I upgraded to Snow Leopard right away so I still have that original disk. However, the CD-drive is not working (whenever any kind of disk is inserted it's ejected after a few secs. That's a problem that's 3 years old or so, and I didn't bother to fix it because I've never used it and the warranty had expired) so I can't just install a fresh copy of that.
    I can't use my own Apple ID and install Mavericks, because they can't change it.
    I can't use the original install DVD and install an old version of OS X (not to mention that they'd have to pay for all updates up to Mavericks).
    Mavericks itself is a free install, so I don't quite get why this has to be such a hassle.
    I'm considering using an USB-drive to install a copy of Mavericks. I'd download the installer by logging into the App Store with their Apple ID and then dd the file into a generic flash drive.
    Any ideas to make this easier?
    TL;DR how to change ownership of MacBook Pro including fresh install of Mavericks, can't use the original installation DVD.

  • Failed Mavericks Install / Time Machine

    My iMac is stuck in a loop after failed Mavericks install.  The message told me to back up data, erase and install again.  Naturally, I hadn't run Time Machine in a month and had some important files to try and save (stupid, I know).  Fortunately, I got the real important stuff backed up using firewire mode and an old MacBook.
    At this point, the iMac can't boot into either safe mode or into the disk repair with my old Snow Leopard disk.  My question is whether I can now connect my external drive with an existing backup to the MacBook and have it make a backup of the iMacs contents.  I'm curious whether Time Machine will recognize the iMac's hard drive as the same volume even though it is mounted on the MacBook as an external drive.  Will this work or should I go buy a new external drive and try and clone the iMac's contents?
    I have AppleCare but I'd like to take care of this prior to taking it in as they may want to replace the drive.  The Time Machine method seems preferable so I can restore the system exactly the way it was very easily.
