Problems installing Mac os lion

Hi All
Really stumped here, I'm trying to get mac os lion from the app store on to my macbook core 2 duo. As soon as i select to download, the spinning disk satrts then says I need at least 2Gb hard drive space.....I have 56Gb. How can i get round this? Help much appreciated as I've just downloaded ios 5 for my iphone and looking forward to getting on icloud. Thanks in advance.

Take a look at this doc, http://support.apple.com/kb/SP629 If your MacBook meets the requirements try using disk utility on you hard drive to verify/repair it, then try to install Lion.

If AHT doesn't show any issues, your best bet would probably be to take it to the Apple Store. The AirPort (Wi-Fi) card may have been unseated from its original position. If there is a problem with the card Apple should be able to replace it for free.

Crucial M4 SSD MBP "There was a problem installing Mac OS X" Try Reinstalling

So I have an extra ssd. I decide to put it in my MPB mid or late 2009 to give it some extra life.
I am doing a fresh install from a thumb drive. The macbook find the partition and boots into the installer. about 10 seconds into progress bar this appears: "There was a problem installing mac os x" Try reinstalling.
The progress bar goes away.
The thumb drive is good... it installed on my mother's laptop just fine.
I have the ssd in the place of the old Hdd until my adapter comes around to put one of them in the opti bay.
Does anyone have any ideas or has seen this before?

I forgot to mention a fresh mountain lion install. The M4 has latest firmware as of today.

Hello, perhaps you're confusing RAM Memory with Disk Space?

When I attempt to re-download Lion to my MacBook Air I get the following error: localhost Install Mac OS Lion[436]: Retrying pisa://1183a0570:::/InstallESD.dmg after 1 failure(s). I am trying to re-install the OS after erasing having erased the drive.

When I attempt to re-download Lion to my MacBook Air I get the following error: localhost Install Mac OS Lion[436]: Retrying pisa://1183a0570:::/InstallESD.dmg after 1 failure(s). I am trying to re-install the OS after erasing having erased the drive. Any ideas?

I had the exact same issue; Lion recovery from Command + R would hang with the logs showing the same message. To resolve, I used Disk Utility to remove the recovery partition. My Air then used Internet Recovery to load all the tools. When using Reinstall via Internet it worked just fine.

Troubel whit installing Mac os Lion, cant innstall osLion on this machine because no recovery

How do I install mac os lion? get the fault message cant insall mac os on this machine. no recovery

What to do if the installer warns that no Recovery HD can be created
Some disk partition configurations may result in the OS X Lion installer reporting that it could not create a Recovery HD. In these situations, even if you are permitted to continue the install, you should quit the install and create an external, bootable OS X Lion hard drive with a Recovery HD, first. You will be able to return to the upgrade to OS X Lion on your computer's boot drive after creating the external Recovery HD.
Important notes
Your storage device must have at least 13 GB available (after formatting) to install Lion and an Internet Restore partition.
These steps will erase and reformat the storage device. This article will instruct you on setting up the storage device to use the GUID partition scheme and the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which are required to install Lion and an Internet Restore partition on your external storage device. You should back up any important files that are on the device to a different drive.
This procedure will install a version of the OS X Lion that is compatible with the Mac it was created with. Using this Lion system with a different kind of Mac may produce unpredictable results.
Your computer's serial number will be sent to Apple to help authenticate your request to download and install OS X Lion.

Installed Mac OS Lion and now have internet problems??

So, I've installed the new Mac OS Lion on my MacBook Pro and now can only connect to the internet using Firefox - no Safari, no app store or anything else for that matter. Has anyone else experienced the same problems?
I've never had this problem on Snow Leopard and when I go through the Network Diagnostics it says that the internet connection (Wi-Fi) is perfect?!
What's going on??
I'm now having serious doubts of why I upgraded...

Kernel Panic after installing Mac OSX Lion

I have a late 2009, 15" Macbook Pro that I've upgraded to mountain lion about three weeks ago and when I upgraded the first time I kept getting kernel panics like no tommorrow. I used my flash drive which had lion uploaded to it to "downgrade" to lion in case this happens. I also had mountain lion on the flash drive to so I did a clean install of mountain lion through my flash drive. After that, kernel panics still seem to appear. I got frustrated and called apple support, and lets say that after many hours of testing, installing, and configuring that they just told me to simply go to an apple store, which was a two hour drive from Pine Plains, NY to Danbury, CT only to have them reenstall mountain lion (again) through a network. When I finally got it back and tested it for an hour I thought things would be fine... But lo and behold, another kernel panic appeared. I've taken the liberty to track the programs that I've installed and used during the testing as well as the kernel panic that was reoccuring.

I'll try to figure out how to read this as soon as possible, but until then I need your help to solve this problem.

That panic was not caused by third-party software.
If the panic is recurrent, the possibilities are (1) a damaged OS X installation; (2) a hardware fault, which could be internal or in a wired peripheral device; and (3) an obscure bug in OS X.
You can rule out the first possibility by reinstalling the OS. Probably there will be no change. In that case, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or unless it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore, and you have at leasttwo independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Installed MAC OS Lion and updated iTunes some Icons in dock bounce and won't lauch

I install the new Mac OS Lion after I updated the Itunes started to have problems with the icons in the doc bounce and won't launch the program. This is getting fustrating because I do not know what elese to do. It got so back that no program would launch so I had to do a system retore and then it work. There has to be something I am missing.

Thanks Eric! I had to do a retore because everything came back ok on verifying disk. This happened to me last time when I updated to snow leopard. Now my icons work on my dock now but when I go in application such as iweb and my mac office 2008 it will not launch. I may have to reinstall these programs unless you know what to do.

I bought from Apps Store Mac Os Lion and install automatically on my laptop.
This morning I had a problem with my laptop need to put the DVD but I did not have.... I had Snow Leopard.
So, I read just before installation of LION we can burn on the DVD but AFTER Installation HOW can I burn LION on the DVD?
Thank you for your anser
Regards
Jack

You will need to download the installer again because it self destructs after the installation. So, go back to MAS and download again - if necessary, hold down Option key while you click on Purchases and it should let you download. When download is finished, close installer. Go to Applications folder and copy installer to some place safe. After that, you can follow instructions here:
