MBP will not run my oringinal instal disk, says can't use....

You can't use this version of the application Install Mac OS X.app with this version of Mac OS X
You have Install Mac OS X.app 23.1
I can't even erase the har drive from Utility and start from scratch ?

Which model MacBook Pro do you have? (late 2011, 15" for example).
Are you using the installation disc(s) that came with your MBP? If so, you should be able to startup with the installation disc, erase the drive and reinstall the version of OS X that came with your computer.
If you're not using the original installation disc, you'll have to order it/them from Apple - they will need your serial number to ship you the disc(s) that shipped with your model.

  • Premier elements 12 will not run after re-install

    Premier elements 12 will not run after re-install - it is legal and registered with adobe under my ID. WTF! The reason I re-installed it was because it could not find the internet - which is working. And premier 12 was working for a while then quit - that is why as a last ditch effort - i re-installed it. Any ideas?

  • HT1925 After failed update of itunes yesterday, now will not run with error message "MSVCR80.dll can't be found, APSDaemon.exe not running".  Windows 7.

    After failed update of itunes yesterday, now will not run with error message "MSVCR80.dll not found" APSDaemon.exe will not run.  itunes will not now run.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Late 2011 17" MBP - Will not boot, eject, or read disk

    Hi guys,
    My late 2011 17" MBP after having a server error on Mac Recovery, freezing, and being force shut off, now will not boot.
    When you power it up, it chimes then goes to a blue screen, indefinitely.
    It also will not eject the DVD in it's drive.
    I've tried every key combination prior to startup or during startup to try and remedy this, and nothing.
    It always boots with a chime then blue screen.
    Please help. :3

    Ejecting the disk:
    Try these various remedies: http://guides.macrumors.com/Force_Eject_a_Stuck_CD_or_DVD
    Since your Mac came with Lion installed it may have a recovery partition on the boot disk. 
    There are two ways boot from the Recovery Partition:
    - Hold down the Command-R as you boot.
              This will attempt to boot from the Recovery Partition
              and if that fails it will try to boot using Network Recovery (a slow process).
    - If it won’t boot using Command-R then hold down the Option key as you boot.
              Select the Recovery Partition.
    Backup:  Do you have a recent backup?  If not I suggest you create one before proceeding.  You might not need it but it is especially important to have a backup whenever your Mac is sick.  Post back for instructions for an emergency backup, if needed.
    Blue Screen:
    From the Recovery Partition you should be able to repair the disk and reïnstall OS X (without erasing you existing data).

  • MBP will not shut down after installing patches

    Over the last week I have installed all of the suggested patches, but now I find that my MacBook will not shut down! To shut it down I have to hold the power switch for 10+ seconds to force it.
    Is this a known issue? if so, what is the solution?
    Sorry if this has already been posted, I am at work on a really slow WinTel box.
    Thanks in advance
    Terry

    Hello Terry,
    Your problem might be some internet connection issue. If the pathes were not fully downloaded, the mac will not let you shut down or some error there etc. This will not happened frequently.

  • Macbook pro will not start from the install disk

    I have a 13 macbook pro that i am giving to my sister. I am trying to wipe my info and put hers on it. I followed the directions on the apple website and it wouldn't work. I realized that i was using the install disk from my imac. Now that I am using the correct install disk it gets stuck with a gray screen with the apple logo. It stays in this state until the screen goes black and does nothing. I also went into system preferences and told it to start using the install disk now it wont even start it just gets stuck on the gray screen. please help.

    Hold down "C" while the computer turns on, then choose the DVD.

  • Used Bootcamp to install Windows 7. Now, my macbook pro 13 mid 2009 will not boot back into OSX, there is no Bootcamp utilities like there should be anywhere to be found, and the DVD drive will not recognize the OSX install disk that came with my laptop.

    Basically all in the title. Also, some additional info: partition was 115 GBs for Windows, 385 or whatever for OSX (I have a 500 GB Harddrive), I have tried restarting multiple times, and the drive will recognize the DVD, but almost as if the DVD is blank, as it asks me to format it or drag files to it, etc.

    Hold your "Option" key down while starting your machine.  Continue to hold it down until you are presented with the boot menu which should allow you to select either OS X or Windows (provided you didn't somehow wipe your OS X partition).  When you get into OS X, you can go to System Preferences / Startup Disk.  Here you can select the default startup partition (OS X or Windows)... when you're installing Windows via BootCamp, it gets changed to Windows so when you finish setting up BootCamp, it automatically reboots and launches the Windows installer.  Installing all of the Windows drivers from the OS X DVD should provide you with a Startup Disk option under Windows as well.

  • FireFox has stopped working and will not run after fresh install

    Yesterday I noticed that the address bar was not working and the graphics were not being shown correctly. When I typed in the address bar it would no atuto complete and even if i typed yahoo.com nothin would happen. The only way I could go to a website was to use my bookmarks.
    I did a fresh install and now it doesn't work at all. So, I uninstalled firefox and then did a fresh install. Sill nothing. IE, Chrome, and Safari work fine.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Elements 13 will not run on my Windows XP.  Can I exchange???

    I purchased Photoshop Elements 13, but cannot use with my Windows XP.  How do I exchange for Elements 12?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem, and I am struggling to get in contact with Adobe. Either there is no phone support to get ahold of, or the customer service chat is not available. This is extremely frustrating so if you can give me a tip on how to proceed that would be highly appreciated. I've tried the link you provide above, but I don't get through to Adobe do discuss this matter.
    I'm located in Sweden if that has something to do with it.
    Thanks,
    Magnus

  • After refomatting HDD, reinstalling Vista plus service packs, recovering files from Microsoft backup and installing new copy of Firefox 3.6, Firefox will not run. Have deleted all old M0zilla profile folders and reinstalled Firefox again to no avail.

    After computer would not boot and could not be repaired, I reformatted the HDD, reinstalled Vista plus all service packs and updates, recovered files from Microsoft backup and installed new copy of Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not run.
    I have deleted all old M0zilla profile folders and reinstalled Firefox again to no avail.
    After intallation was completed, the automatic startup just placed a small box on the screen "Import wiz". This just sat there with no activity. After I closed this box, none of the Firefox start buttons would open the program -- just the blue rotating icon for about 2 seconds then nothing.

  • MBP will not shut off or restart after installing lion.

    MBP will not shut off or restart after installing lion. I tried installing the latest update but since it will not restart the update will not work.
