    While trying to re-install Mac OS X, appears the following screen:
    Install failed
    Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer
    The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.
    Contact the software manufacture for assistance.
    Click Restart to restart your computer and try installing again.

    You should be able to install Mac OS X 10.7 or later on your 2011 MacBook Pro without issue, if it came with 10.6.3 as your signature suggests.  Mind you, any 2011 MacBook Pro must use the original 10.6 installer disc labelled MacBook Pro if it desires to have 10.6 installed on it.   The retail installer disc will not work on that model, nor will one from another age MacBook Pro, or other model labelled installer.  Also
    10.7 came both on USB Flash drive and Mac App Store installer versions.   Both required either 10.6.6 minimum be pre-installed, or no Mac OS X operating system on the drive or partition it was to be installed on.
    10.7.1 through 10.7.5 combo could be installed only once 10.7 had been installed.  A combo update is available for installing on top of any version of 10.7.  Otherwise only the preceding version could be updated to the next.
    10.8 came only on Mac App Store installer.  It is available only to 10.6.8 and later users.
    10.8.1 to 10.8.5 combo could be installed only once 10.8 had been installed.  A combo update is available for installing on top of any version of 10.8.  Otherwise only the preceding version could be updated to the next.
    10.9 came only on Mac App Store installer. It is available only to 10.6.8 and later users.
    Both 10.9 and 10.9.1 had a serious security vulnerability, which only 10.9.2 addressed.
    10.9.2 combo could be installed only once 10.9 had been installed. 
    For all three Mac App Store releases, the partition to be installed on had to be GUID partition formatted according to Apple Disk Utility.

  • I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, after 7.1.1 but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
    My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
    When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
    Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries.

    Be aware of the Mountain Lion upgrade problem.

  • ExportPDF - "an error occurred while trying to access the service"

    I have never had a problem using ExportPDF in the past but recently I am getting an error message saying "an error occurred while trying to access the service".  I am using the same browser, Chrome, that I have always used.  Please tell me how to fix this.

    Hi billbeaton,
    Please log out, clear the browser cache, and then reload https://cloud.acrobat.com. If that doesn't work, please try logging in using a different web browser (simply as a test).
    Has anything changed on your system since you were last able to log in to Acrobat.com? Are you using Mac OS or Windows?

  • An error occurred while trying to contact the radio tuning service

    I get this error message when trying to connect to the radio stations on itunes?  "an error occurred while trying to contact the radio tuning service"  My computer is definitely connected to the internet as I can stream from pandora and safari and mail work?  Any suggestions?

    I suggest you browse this forum.  This issue has been going on for at least 3 days now.  It happens to some part of the time, some for all the time, not at all to others.
    It's not clear what the issue is, or where it lies.  If it's something to do with Apple's servers they are not likely to discuss it.  There was an issue like this a few months ago with the weather widgets and people kept on posting with no news until one day it suddenly started working, again with no news.  If you wish to, you can report to Apple.

    There are other applications that let you listed to online radio if you are desperate.  Check www.pure-mac.com

  • RE: An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Error -9672

    I am trying to add my HP 8450xi to my Printer List via Print Utility and get the following message: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Error -9672." I have tried everything, and this printer is only 2 years old. I was able to load an HP 69080 which is about 2 months old, and my Lanier LD232C drivers. Any ideas?

    My HP 8450Xi is connected to my LAN [ethernet]. While I do have an Airport Card in my Mac Pro, and two airport base stations active for laptops, it is disabled. What is strange, I was able to load the drivers for a newer HP Network Deskjet 6980xi (Driver version 4.0.2), although it took a couple of times before it would successfully load, but could not figure out why it worked and the 8450xi (Driver 2.5.5) did not. Also, the 4.0.2 driver would not work with the 8450.

  • I keep getting "Icloud encountered an error while trying to contact the server "

    I keep getting "Icloud encountered an error while trying to contact the server"

    Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
    Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12

  • I just got v10.6, while trying to run the update, it's telling me that the file is corrupt and cannot be saved. What do I do?!

    I'm running Snow Leopard v 10.6 on a Macbook 4,1. I've got a 500 GB HD and 4GB of Ram. While trying to run the software update (to get me to 10.6.8, I think?) I keep getting an error message around 600 MB that says it's unable to be saved because the file might be corrupt and that it will try again when the software update is ran next time. Why am I getting this message? Is there a way to get the update (so I can eventually get to Lion), without going through the software update screen?
    I'm going crazy with this. I've tried 4 times now and still keep getting the same message.

    Try downloading the stand alone installer here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    In Safari Preferences, General tab, set "Save downloaded files to: select destop, if it is not in thed rop down select other, then selcet Desktop from the left sidebar. After the download completes click on the installer package on your desktop and follow the prompts.
    Also if possible use an ethernet conection as it is less prone to interference, thus less prone to corruption, and usually faster.
    Hope this helps

  • An error occurred while trying to access the service?

    I'm trying to convert a PDF into Excel but I get the message 'an error occurred while trying to access the service'.
    I have tried logging into my Adobe account online and doing it within there, but once I have exported the file and pressed 'convert' it simply says 'conversion failure' with no explanation.
    My subscription is still valid, so I don't see why the problems?  Has anyone else had this issue and managed to fix it?  I get the error message regardless of whether I'm trying to convert to Word or Excel.
    Any ideas greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks
    Sophie

    Hi SHurcs,
    I'm sorry that you're having such trouble with your ExportPDF subscription. Does this error occur for one particular file, or with any file that you try to convert? What operating system and browser are you using?
    To get us started, here are a few things that you can try:
    In Reader, sign out, and then sign back in.
    Use a supported web browser:  http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/
    Clear the browser cache.
    If you're using a networked computer, make sure that there are no firewall/proxy settings that prevent you from uploading files to the Internet.
    Make sure that the files you're trying to convert are within the file-size limits for ExportPDF (100 MB).
    If the problem persists, please let us know, and tell us a bit more about the files that you're converting.
    Best,
    Sara
