OSX ML Won't fully download and install

Hey all,
I recently ran into some disk permission / start up errors on my 15" Retina MacBook Pro, so I decided to reinstall OS X. I erased the original installtion using disk utilty and am now prompted to "reinstall mountain lion" when I start up my computer. However, when I install, it will give me an estimated time of around 1 hr and 45 minutes to download the "additional components". The estimated time goes down correclty, but once it reaches the final minutes/seconds, it restarts back at 1 hour and 45 minutes. I went through five iterations of this before just letting it run over night. When I opened up my computer after about 24 hours, I saw a message that said it was not able to download the addtional components and the CD is needed. As I do not have a CD drive, nor the CD, is there anything I can do? Anyone run into this before?
Thanks!

Restart your iPhone and try again.
If you can't restart - Try resetting:
Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

  • Why won't CS2 download and install properly?

    Hello,
    I've been trying to install an old copy of CS2 (AI,ID,PS) on a machine at work. CS2 activation is now no longer supported, so I've been following the Adobe guidelines, which are to download CS2 from the website and then install those files.
    This is the page I've been directed to:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
    I've downloaded all the Windows files and opened/run them. I just can't get any programs to actually run - the message says:
    'Missing or Invalid personalization Information.
    Missing Resources library'.
    I'm not sure what's casuing this - I've downloaded everything. It's quite frustrating as we've got all the disks and that software previously was running perfectly well on a different PC!
    Has anyone else had problems with these downloads, or am I missing something obvious?
    Thanks in advance
    Andy

    Andy this difficulty was somewhat common for Creative Suite 2.  It usually is due to file permissions being improperly set.  You can find information on how to resolve this difficulty at Error "Please personalize your copy..." or "The serial number..." | InDesign, InCopy | CS2 | Windows XP - http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/error-please-personalize-copy-or.html.
    If you are attempting to use Windows Vista or later you will need to adjust the appropriate directory permissions.

  • Just purchased a ipad2, could not us it on my MacBook 10.4.1 - Purchased and installed OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.3 - downloaded and installed latest itunes, set up a itunes accounts and tested by purchasing an album and app, ipad does not show in devises?

    I just purchased a ipad2, it would not work on my MacBook 10.4.1 I purchased and installed OSX snow leopard 10.6.3 downloaded and installed the latest itunes, set up an itunes account, purchased some music and apps.  When i plug in my ipod it shows up and works, but when i plug in my new ipad the ipad screen comes up with a display of a cable and itunes but does not show in devises, i have tried all the resets and different USB ports with no success.  Any ideas short of selling it on ebay or buying a new computer?

    If you've already tried the usual rebooting of the computer and ports and stuff, there is only a few things left I can think of. It's possible that when you updated iTunes it didn't fully replace all the files, so I suggest just manually removing iTunes and then reinstalling it.
    Try removing iTunes manually first http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 then download a fresh copy, make sure it is 10.3.1
    It is essential that you go through Finder to remove those files it mentions. Otherwise they won't be reinstalled when you run the installer again.

  • I have just bought an iPhone 5 and it won't sync to iTunes.  It says it needs  iTunes 10.7, which I have downloaded and installed.  I still get the error message and looking at "about iTunes" it says 10.6.3.  What do I do??

    Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

  • I had iLife pre-installed on my aluminium Macbook 2009 with OSX Leopard on it. My hard drive broke but got most of the info off it and just installed snow Leopard on to a new drive and then downloaded and installed Mountain Lion over it. Now I don't have

    I had iLife pre-installed on my aluminium Macbook 2009 with OSX Leopard on it. My hard drive broke but got most of the info off it and just installed snow Leopard on to a new drive and then downloaded and installed Mountain Lion over it. Now I don't have iLife anymore. How do I get it back?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Mac OS X doesn't come with iLife applications, so you have to install them manually after installing Mac OS X.
    Insert the Applications disc or Mac OS X Install Disc 2 DVD and install iLfe applications. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest update. If you want, you can purchase iMovie, GarageBand and iPhoto in the App Store, so you will get the most recent version

  • After clearing cash on mac applications won't lunch any more..I tried to delete apps like VLC player with app cleaner and again download and instal new but it's the same..goes for all apps that are not originally part of Yosemite. Please advise me?!

    After clearing cash on my mac ( Go to folder: ~/Library/Caches and clear all, than to Library/Cashes and clear all again) applications won't lunch any more..I tried to delete apps like VLC player, firefox.. with app cleaner and again download and install the new one but it's the same..goes for all apps that are not originally part of Yosemite. I have done this cash clean up very often on Maverick without any problems. This time I done it again because I could not open my web site, the server has blocked me and I was trying everything including deleting cash from mac. Please advise me what to do..?!? Thanks in advance.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • How can i download and install OSX LION on my old black macbook from 2009?

    how can i download and install OSX LION on my old black macbook from 2009?

    Click here, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, install it, and run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater. You can then either buy Mountain Lion 10.8 from the Mac App Store or phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

    Cloud products don't use serial numbers. That includes downloading CS6 through the Cloud (if that is what you're doing). Hence Ned's query.

  • PB Apps on BBW Downloading and installing But won't open.

    I've just bought a Playbook and installed the lates OS. When I went to Blackberry World to install some apps, they seem to download and install fine but then sit in limbo and won't open. This has happened to 3 free apps now.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The apps I installed are the Blackberry Tutorial, The Belgium Zip Code  Lookup and a Soltaire Game.
    The apps are visible on the App World screen as installed. But no icon appears anywhere else. Touching the app in the App World menu only provides a description. There is no loss of functionality with the rest of the Playbook.
