Reinstalling osx on mac pro

Hi All
I have a mac pro 2010 runnning windows on bootcamp.I did this when my osx went bizerk
a few months back and each time i try to reinstall the software with the original disk that
came with it 10.6 it says the software cannot be installed on the computer.This is due to the
update i got about last year this time at apple into osx 10.7 so Id like to find out how i can
reinstall my operating system with either the original disk that came or with any other method.
I will be going to see the geniuses at apple over the weekend if i cant get it done online.
much appreciated
the punk!

On a Mac running v10.7 Lion, you need to use OS X Recovery
Restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
On a Mac that's been upgraded from an older OS X to v10.7 Lion, the install discs that came with your Mac cannot be used to reinstall the system.

  • No mouse when trying to reinstall osx on mac mini

    Trying to reinstall osx trough the network on my mac mini but the mouse didn´t work.
    I tried wireless and wired usb mouse. I can move the mouse but the klick funkction didn´t work.
    Somebody any ide?

    I ran into this problem before and restting NVRAM and SMC solved the issue. Might have just been luck for me, but its worth a shot.

  • Reinstalled software on mac pro, now can't sync mac pro, macbook, iphone, iPad. tried to rip a cd to iTunes, was told i didn't have access to itunes media folder or a folder inside it. i was directed to go to finder to deal with it. nothing helped.

    I've had big problems since the reinstall. can't use past itunes purchases, can't share properly across my different devices. all my devices use the same login in id and password. still, my main computer - the mac pro, which i did the reinstall on - is treated like a stranger. it's a big hassle, because i'm use phone, macbook, and mac pro interchangeably. today i tried to rip a cd to itunes on the mac pro (where I have 500 gigs of music on one of the hard drives). i was told i dont have access to itunes media folder or a folder within it. to change permissions i should open the itunes media folder in the finder and change the permissions. i tried changing permissions (the box at the bottom of the info box), and had no luck.
    if anyone can help me, i'd appreciate it.

    You haven't been hacked, you just have problems with your system. What those problems might be I have no idea, as your posts are a bit rambling and unclear.
    What I would recommend is to find a nearby Apple Store and take the time to bring your machine in to the Genius Bar there. (Make sure to make an appointment first!) You can do all this from the [Apple Retail Store page|http://www.apple.com/retail>. A Genius can look at the machine and help solve the problems. If your communication style and level of knowledge about computers makes it difficult to communicate with techs on the phone or internet, as it sounds like has been the case, this hands-on help could make all the difference.

  • Can't reinstall Tiger on Mac Pro

    We have a Mac Pro 1,1 with OS 10.4.11 on it. It is heavily corrupted and we want to wipe it and reload the OS. I tried 10.5 disks, but they cannot be used on this machine, so I tried the Tiger disks, but they said the same thing. I noticed that they are not the OEM disks, but a "Family Pack". I also noticed that I cannot boot to them. I hold the option or the C key and it boots to the HD. I tried startup disk, but the Tiger disk is not visible. I hesitate to wipe the drive (using the 10.5 utility) and then find I cannot load any OS on this machine. Any advice?

    ghstd, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The MacPro has an Intel processor. It uses a special version of Tiger that is on the installers that came with the Mac. Do you have the installer? The family pack Tiger installer is for a PowerPC processor Mac.
    Leopard can be used on your Mac, but you need to use a retail installer & not a gray installer from another model Mac.
    Two things you might try.
    Boot in Safe Mode? See

  • Can't Reinstall OSX Onto Macbook Pro

    We have a MacBook Pro that suffered a hard drive failure.   We've installed a new Hard Drive, and now are not having any luck getting the OSX to reinstall.
    - Looking up by S/N: this is a "Mid-2010 Core i5 MacBook Pro 15-inch" its an A1286.
    - Just pressing the power button results in a screen with a blinking ? File Folder
    - Pre-Installed OS is listed as 10.6.3. My understanding is that it has to be at least 10.7 for an Internet Recovery to function.  We've tried the Command-R at boot anyway, and the result is that it sits at the Apple logo on a Grey screen indefinitely
    - We have a Retail OSX disc that is labeled as 10.6.3. With the disc in the drive, and pressing Option key at startup, we get to the screen to select the Boot Volume, where the only option is "Mac OS X Install DVD."  Selecting this option makes the DVD start to spin up for a moment then stop, and it takes us back to the grey screen with the apple logo, where it just sits.
    - The OSX DVD is a known good disc.
    - At this point we're stuck, and don't know what to do next.

    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.

             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
             you will be running a fresh install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process

  • Cannot reinstall osx on Mac Mini!?!?

    I bought a refurb Mac Mini from apple in january. I'm trying to put a clean install on it because I would like to sell it. Whenever I try the install give me the error "This software cannot be installed on the computer." I am using the OSX install CD's that came with my Mac Mini

    I also bought a Mac Mini in January 2006 and have the same problem. I can't install from my OS X from my original Mac Mini install CD. Mine is labeled "Mac Mini". So I don't understand. Is it because it is a REFURBISHED Mac Mini? But I bought it from the Apple Store. What I did notice is that Apple changes the S/N. When I later tried to upgrade my iLife to '06 my Mini wasn't listed in Apple's valid serial numbers. Spent close to an hour with them on the phone and finally they gave up and sent me the new version for free. So, getting back on track, anyone know how I can get my Mac up and running again? I also erased the disk tosee if that was the problem. Good thing I have a backup on my firewire disk. But I don't have a Mac to work on and I need to work! Appreciate any help.

  • Reinstall osx lion

    I got my OS X lion from the free upgrade since i bought my mac recently, however, not all software are compatible with the new os and I would like to downgrade my os to snow leopard then back to lion after i'm done. 
    Since I didn't have any cd for the installation of the os, I was trying to check for it in itunes store but I couldn't seem to locate it.  I was wondering if the free upgrade is just for one time installation or could I download it again to reinstall with my mac pro.
    Thanks for the help.

    If you failed to retain a copy of the Install Mac OS X Lion.app, then DL another copy, but don't install it, just save it to another location.
    To go back to Snow Leopard, Ssee Kappy's going back to SL from Lion guide and Bombich's Get Ready for Lion tutorial.

  • Wee Problem with Parallels Desktop and the Westmere Mac Pros

    Just got my new Westmere 8-Core Mac Pro last Friday, and spent the last four days in agony.
    I used Migration Assistant to transfer over my accounts from my old Mac Pro, but it crashed hard -- so hard that I had to reformat the hard drive and do a clean install of the system. So I decided to do a clean install of all of my programs as well, and the Westmere crashed on the Parallels Desktop installation. And, again, it crashed so hard that I had to reformat the hard drive and do a clean install of everything all over again.
    Today, I read a review of the Westmere Mac Pros in Macworld (http://www.macworld.com/article/153704/2010/08/quad8_core_macpro_2010.html?lsrc=top2), and learned:
    We ran into a problem running Parallels on the Westmere-based Mac Pros, so we could not complete the Speedmark 6 suite of tests. When booted into 64-bit mode (as the new Mac Pros do by default) the systems would crash with Parallels installed. Booting into 32-bit mode would allow the systems to start up, but we still couldn’t use Parallels. We eventually tried a complete wipe and reinstall from the Mac Pro’s systems disc and downloaded the very latest version of Parallels to eliminate any other potential problems, and had the same issue. Apple and Parallels are aware of the problem and assure me that Parallels is working diligently on a fix. The application worked just fine on the new quad-core Mac Pro with the Nehalem processor.
    Hoped I saved somebody some time.

    Hi akapod,
    Looks like they may have the fix out.
    Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Kernel panic when installing or restarting Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac
    Please let me know if it's available and fixes it.

  • Erased mac book pro (2009), how can i reinstall osx?  it won't recognize any old system disc

    erased mac book pro (2009), how can i reinstall osx?  it won't recognize old system discs

    Did you try:
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    If you don't have the original discs that came with the computer, then you can install the retail version of Snow Leopard:
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.

  • Can't Reinstall OSX Lion on a new HD on my Mac Pro????

    I have a Mac Pro Desktop that i bough on ebay and just got a new HD500Gb so I want to use the 500GB HD as my primary HD and use my current 320GB as my secondary. I did the boot sequence by holdin the opt/alt key at start up picked recovery option went to disk utilities wiped it clean got out of DU and got to the instal page with Lion on front chose the hard drive I wanted to install it to which was my New 500GB HD and it asked to be signed in to appstore to validate apple id  signed in it let me agree to terms then when I went to download and install it it said that my apple id did not purchase the a copy of OSX Lion( ah duh ) because I am not original owner,it says that i have to use the apple id that was used to purchase OSX Lion originaly? there is my problem How dow I find out who was the original person who download it in the first place? yes I got it clean fresh install NO problem but now I want to switch hard drives and cant do it!!!
    if I recall right OSX Lion didnt come with any Disks so that option is gone,and I am not the original owner that bought the installed copy of OSX Lion that instaled on here now.
    So is there any way to find out that info of the original owner and thier apple id or
    bypass it cause with out it I cant do Squat!!!!

    It does indeed take 1 to 3 days, because a person has to intervene and send you a couple of emails with redemption codes that you will enter to get access to the download.
    Once you have downloaded Lion, your Apple-ID "Purchases" page will evermore show Lion as Purchased and re-downloadable, like this one:

  • Reinstall OSX on New Mac Pro

    Hi,
    I have a new Mac Pro and I want to rebuild it. I have a bootable USB Key that I made with the 10.9 installer from the App Store. This installer works as a bootable image for the old Mac Pro's and for MacBook pro's, but I can't get a new Mac Pro to boot from it. I think the issue might be that it is a different 10.9 revision that the new Mac Pro requires. Has anyone successfully done this yet on the new Mac Pro?
    Thanks
    Dave

    You would need to do a full Internet Recovery like so:
    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

  • Macbook Pro shuts down constantly, and rarely starts. Should I reinstall OSX?

    Hi there,
    I have a early 2011 Macbook Pro 17" with OSX Lion 10.7.5 and a bootcamp partition running Windows 7.
    About three months ago some coffee was spilled on the keyboard, and afterwards was having some issues where it would shut down randomly. After a visit to my university's computer repair center, who told me there was a problem with the power button, and a visit to the local MacStore, who told me that the internals needed to be replaced for a whopping 1,300 dollars. I let the comupter sit for some time while I tried to figure out what to do. A few weeks ago I opened the machine up and cleaned areas where I could see coffee residue with 95% isopropyl alcohol. After letting dry for the evening, I started the computer up and it worked just fine for about two weeks.
    Suddenly, when using the Windows operating system, it began shutting down when going to sleep. Following some advice on this site, I switched over to the Mac operating system and installed updates. On restart after the updates, the computer did not actually restart, and since, has started up to the grey screen with apple logo, makes a 'clink' sound and then shuts off. Rarely it actually starts to the desktop, and then 'clinks', goes black, and shuts off. When safe booting, and using the disk utility, it does the same thing. I have reset the SMC and the RAM.
    When I am able to succesfully load the disk utility, it shuts down shortly after I begin the repair disk. I have tried this through the original install disk, and get the same results.
    I haven't tried reinstalling, or erasing the hard drive and reinstalling OSX. I am worried about trying this as it seems like I might really screw stuff up if it shuts down in the middle of the reinstall or erasing. Am I correct about this?
    Some posts here suggest that I need a firmware update of some sorts, but I do not see how I could do this if I cannot get the machine to start normall. Other solutions that might apply to this problem that I have found also strangely require the computer to actually be on and running.
    Although I am willing to accept it, I have a hard time believing this is a hardware issue (e.g. logic board) related to the spill because of how long it ran without any problems.
    I have been unable to get any sort of error report as well because of the shut down problem.
    If anyone could help with my quesiton about reinstalling, and perhaps offer any other advice that doesn't involve me taking it to a MacStore I would greatly appreciate it. Its finals week and I could really use my laptop. It is a real pain being tied to a desktop.
    Battery is fully charged, and does indeed charge.

    Update on this: somehow the disk repair utility went through and I did a repair disk. There were no problems found. Computer worked fine for an hour, and then started asking me if I really wanted to shut down, which I did not. After doing this three times it made the characteristic 'clink', and shut off as described in my previous post.

  • Mac Pro (Early 2008) periodically crashes in unusual way, requires reinstall

    Mac Pro (Early 2008), 2 x Intel Quad-core Xeon 3.2 GHz (8 cores), 14 GB RAM, 3 TB hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 and/or ATI Radeon HD 4870), OS X Lion 10.7.4
    OK, I've got a weird one here.  Every few days, my machine crashes in an unusual manner.  Examples:
    * the first time this happened, any attempt to play a video file (either from within iTunes or externally using Quicktime) would result in a blank, black video window, but I could still hear the sound from the video.  If I moved my mouse within the black window I'd get playback controls and when pressed, I could hear the audio rewind/fast forward/etc. (but of course the video window would remain black)  Also, any attempt to use screen sharing would result in a completely white window where the remote screen should be.
    * another time this happened, I would constantly get the error message that VTDecoderXPCService quit unexpectedly, even if I wasn't playing a video.  Trying the suggested fixes from https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3193904?start=15&tstart=0 did not fix the issue.
    * another time this happened, the machine appeared to work fine, except any attempt to access System Preferences resulted in the spinning beach ball of death and would completely lock up the machine.
    In any case, rebooting the machine does not result in the problem being fixed -- in fact, it gets worse.  After I reboot, I am unable to log in to my machine at all. Either the desktop window flashes briefly but then it goes back to the login screen, or the login screen never appears.  I have tried both the "guest" account as well as a standard "test" user I set up when I first installed OS X (i.e. a "clean" user), and none of those help.
    What *does* help, however, is completely reinstalling OS X Lion (including running the combo updater to get back to 10.7.4).  Once I do this, the machine becomes usable again, and I can use it error-free for a few more days - after which it fails again in some strange manner.
    At first I thought my hard drive might be failing; however replacing the hard drive did not help.  I then thought that I might have a glitchy graphics card (the black video windows and the VTDecoderXPCService crashing suggested this to me).  However replacing the video card didn't help either.  (I tried another GeForce GT 120 as well as an ATI Radeon HD 4870, both of which were known to be good in other machines).  I have also tried countless times fixing permissions, clearing cache files, etc. and none of that helps.  The only thing that brings this machine back from the dead is, like I said before, reinstalling OS X - but only for a few days.
    I didn't see anything out of the ordinary when checking the system log files.
    In case there was some sort of hardware problem going on, I tried running Apple Hardware Test overnight in loop mode.  The hardware passed all checks.  I also tried running Memtest86+ overnight, again with no failures or errors.
    The machine doesn't seem to me to run particularly hot - typically temps hover in the 40-45 C range, and can jump to 55-60 when doing heavy activity (mostly video encoding).  Voltage levels look good as well.  (I'm using iStat Menus for both the temperature and voltage readings)
    I'm about at my wit's end here.  Unfortunately the machine is out of warranty (AppleCare too) and I don't really have the money to take this into a shop and get it diagnosed.  So does anyone have any ideas?

  • I just restarted my mac then suddenly when it boots,disk utility came and says different option like repair disk, get help, reinstall OSX and I tried to click disk repair but it says that I am um able to repair the disk

    It sounds like your hard drive either has a software problem that Disk Utility cannot fix or that the HD has failed (mechanically).
    Your Mac may have booted either to your recovery partition or to internet recovery in an attempt to repair the drive- I can't tell from your post.
    I'll assume that it was the recovery partition.
    Try to boot into internet recovery (hold down option command R at restart), and see if you can repair your HD with Disk Utility. You should also repair permissions while you're there.
    If that doesn't work, try to boot into single user mode (restart, hold down ⌘S until you see a black screen with white text) and repair your hard drive. Here's a reference with directions: Repair Your Hard Disk in Single User Mode | Everything Macintosh
    If that doesn't work you have a few options:
    If your mac originally came with installation disks, you can try to boot from the installation disk and then see if you can repair the HD.
    There is a small chance that Techtool Pro 7  will be able to repair your HD if Disk Utility can't.
    If none of that works then your HD has probably failed and will need to be replaced, which is not too difficult to do yourself if you can use a screwdriver.
