Osx 10.9.4 doesn't install

Macbook pro 9,1  2.3GHz 16GB 1.5TB HD
OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
Update to 10.9.4 from App store ---   restart  ---- shows 10.9.2
Download combined update to 10.9.4  ---  save file ---  run -- install complete   --- restart     shows 10.9.2
How do I update to OS X 10.9.4?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance. You can skip this step if you don't care about the data that hasn't been backed up.
Reinstall the OS.* Your data should be unaffected unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • I downloaded OsX mavericks and it doesn't want to instal.

    i downloaded OsX mavericks and when i came to instal it a message appeared 'close all applications to instal'. i clicked on it several times, waited, and nothing happened. Then i clicked 'quit instal', the downloaded Os X mavericks disappeared and i'm downloading again. Did anyone face the same problem? Any idea what to do if it doesn't instal again?

    Hi daddyh,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The "Install OS X Mavericks" application will appear in your Applications folder once it is downloaded.
    Check the Applications folder to see if it is there, or do a Spotlight search for this file.
    Double click on the Installer file to begin the installation.
    The file will be removed once Mavericks has been installed.

  • Mini system installer disc doesn't install on a external firewire drive!

    The osx insteller disc came with my mine doesn't allow me to install the system onto a external firewire hard drive. I am wondering if the retail mac osx be any different?
    Would the retail version be able to create the GUID partition?
    .....Thanks a bunch.
    BTW, what is the normal cpu operaton temperature and the max fan speed?
    Message was edited by: Cup of Tea

    The OSX installer should be able to install on your external, though if you're talking about an external drive connected to an Intel Mac, it MUST be partitioned in the GUID scheme first. Both original install disk and retail Tiger can perform this partitioning using Disk Utility. Simply boot to the install disk or retail Tiger, exit the installer, run Disk Utility, select the external drive (the top entry showing drive name and size), click the partition tab, then the options button, then the top option for GUID Partition Table. Click OK, then the Partition button.

  • ITunes version 11.0.2.26 doesn't install

    The latest update to iTunes doesn't install correctly.  After the update ran, I received error -42404 and couldn't connect to my AppleTV.  I followed the instructions and removed and reinstalled.  Now I get an error that AVFoundationCF.dll cannot be found and iTunes won't startup.
    I believe before this update I was running the 32 bit version of iTunes.  Originally I could not get the 64 bit version to work, the 32 bit version worked fine.  Now it seems to want to replace the 32 bit version with 64 bit version.
    Any suggestions?

    You can try to completely uninstall iTunes from your PC, remove your preferences (remember to backup your data) and then install the latest version: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    It should fix it but again, backup your content and settings first!

    I tried installing Iphoto it said it was downloaded successfully. I still get the error messafe, and can not open any photos of program,  any suggestions?

    What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
    Does the message only refer to "a problem" or does it specify what it is?

  • ITunes doesn't install on Windows 7 Home Premium

    Hi everyone.
    I have tried to install iTunes on my Windows but I just can't be sucessful. After the installation process, I get the message that the program was correctly installed, but then I don't have the program, it wasn't installed. I get no errors, iTunes just doesn't install, but says it was installed.
    I have searched about this problem but didn't find anything like that.
    Does someone have any idea? My Windows is 7, Home Premium.
    Thanks.

    I've downloaded the iTunes installation file and tried to install or repair 3 times but keep getting a message that a required component is not installed (-45075).
    Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • "Apple Mobile Device Support" doesn't install with iTunes

    When I install iTunes 11.3 on my pc "Apple Mobile Device Support" doesn't install.
    The installer installs
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    iTunes
    But it doesn't install "Apple Mobile Device Support"
    My OS is "Windows 8.1 64bit"
    i have ESET Smart Security installed on my PC but when i want to install itunes i disable it .
    i removed and installed itunes completely several times but it didn't help !
    sb help me pls !!!!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.

  • Windows Vista Ultimate doesn't install on Satellite M40

    Windows Vista Ultimate doesn't install on this notebook. Vista hangs after installation and doesn't boot up. Does anybody know what the problem is?

    Hello
    As far as I know older units are not Vista supported. I believe it is not necessary to say why. Satellite M40 is older notebook model and definitely not Vista supported. Many newer WXP preinstalled notebooks are Vista supported but Toshiba has for each model designed new BIOS version and before installing Vista the BIOS update must be done at first.
    I can imagine that new BIOS is needed for M40 too but as I said before this machine is not Vista supported. I am very interested if someone will report more about Vista on Satellite M40.

  • When installing mountain lion on my computer, why does it say "OSX Mountain Lion couldn't be installed, because the disk \ is damaged and can't be repaired."

    I'm unable install mountain lion on my computer. Every time it says "OSX Mountain Lion couldn't be installed, because the disk \ is damaged and can't be repaired. Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again." So I press the only button listed as an option, it restarts, and the same screen comes up again. I can't make mountain lion go away...I've tried many times. What is wrong with my computer? It's stuck like this and I can't even get snow leopard back on there if I wanted to because I can't get away from the same screen. Please help : (

    Insert your OS installer disk in the optical drive. Power the Mac down by holding down the power button. Then power back up and hold down the 'c' key so the MBP boots to the installer disk. From Disk Utility you should do a Repair Disk. If DU successfully repairs the disk quit the installer and reboot your Mac. You should update to 10.6.8 prior to upgrading to ML.

    Then do your ML upgrade install.

  • Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install.

    Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install. Appreciate if someone in the forum can help.

    The backup and restore from the iCloud was a little unnerving since the restore erased all information from the iPod.  The iCloud backup and restore took a long time, but worked.  I was very grateful.
    Trying again to backup to iTunes locally proved to be the same challenging problem.  The same backup to corrupt file was the message.  The status bar showing backup seemed to move faster to start, but then slowed to a creep toward the end before the error. 
    When trying to restore a backup in iTunes, the "Restore" button is grayed out since it is looking for a local copy.  Any restore would need to be from the iCloud which already worked but isn't the final solution.
    Your suggestions were good, I am just in the same boat.  Any thoughts about doing the following?
    1) creating a cloud backup
    2) resetting the iPod to factory defaults
    3) removing all traces of iTunes from my computer and
    4) installing iTunes and setting up iPod from scratch.
    This is the next thing on my list.

When I choose Restart in Yosemite it shows my 10.6.8 hard drive. But when I click Restart in 10.6.8 it does NOT show my Yosemite drive. I used to know how to get the startup screen that showed multiple drives but I've forgotten it. How do I do that?

  • Java 1.4.2 SDK/Netbeans cobundler doesn't install Webstart?

    According to the docs Webstart is standard for 1.4.x, but while the 1.4.2/NetBeans cobundle install creates a javaws subdirectory in j2sdk_nb, it doesn't install it - no Webstart launcher on the desktop and no auto-loading the launcher when a jnlp file download begins. Just as if webstart wasn't there. Any help how to get this working is appreciated or else I may have to install j2sdk/netbeans separately in order to get the webstart install working...

    The sdk/netbeans bundle contains j2sdk with no public skd.
    (actually it invokes the sdk installer silently, without enabling the install of a public jre.)
    To fix this go into add/remove programs, click on the j2sdk1.4.2 and click on change.
    then you can click on modify, and install the public jre.

    Hi,
    I'm sorry you are having this problem installing Firefox for Android. Is it possible that you don't have enough available space for the app? It requires 15Mb of available space to install. If you can give me a bit more information about what happens when you try to install it, I can try to provide some more suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Michelle
