There was a problem installing "Mac OS X" - Try reinstalling

Hi there,
so, i downloaded Lion and made a copy of the Install pkg to install it on multiple devices.
It worked without any problems on a new Macbook Air, an old aswell as a very old Mac Mini.
However on a 15" MBP i7 with 500GB SSD it completely messed up.
it gave the above error message
Only option was to reboot.
The system hung for 30 mins after which I shut it down.
I then proceeded to make a "clean install" Disk and Stick to reboot.
After booting I went into Diskutility and erased the Harddisk.
Funnily enough after another reboot the same error message came up.
Don'T know what to do.
currently restoring from the time capsule...

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

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?

Quit all applications and re-upgrade. If the problem persists, please contact customer support from Apple.
How do I upgrade?

Thank you for the tip. The link you sent me with the optical drive is for my model? Did you installed? We could install the driver as well? If you could ever give me the link to the demonstration of the installation DVD drive was great.
Thank you very much

HT4859 problem turning on phone there was a problem turning on your email. try again

I am getting a message "problem turning on phone there was a problem turning on your email. try again"

Have you tried the simple things first like a reboot...hold both the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears? Sometimes it is also necessary to remove and reenter a password in case it has been corrupted. And sometimes I have just had a bad connection signal and that has been the issue.

Despite English selected, I get "There was a problem installing Lightroom..." while installing 5.3

Found the announcement and KB-article [1] + other posts on the topic, but my problem is slithgly off;
I see in the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 5.3 12-30-2013.log that the MSI issue happens:
Install MSI payload failed with error: 1624 - Error applying transforms.
Third party payload installer Adobe_Lightroom_x64.msi failed with exit code: 1624
My Adobe Creative Cloud app has "English (International)" set as the app language, though.
Any hope for me to complete the upgrade?

Got excellent help from Dilip on Adobe chat!
Trick was roughtly;
Sign out of and close CC
Empty temp folder (run -> %temp%)
Sign back in to CC
Restart LR-install, it will fail again. Don't touch
In temp-folder, search for sub-folder called Lightroom_5_CCM_LS1_win6, with the file Adobe_Lightroom_x64.msi in it.
Execute install from mentioned file - that works (should work, and did for me) OK
Sign out and close CC
Sign back in -> now Lightroom 5.3 is listed as installed and up to date!
Thanks a lot, Dilip!

"There was a problem installing Photoshop CC (2014)" error for a year

I've been trying to install Photoshop for over a year (haven't really needed it yet, and now I do), and get the same error every time.
It gets through about 45% of the download (always the same percentage, roughly), and then gives up and says "Installation failed--learn more."
When I click on the learn more link, I get a web page saying exactly:
<<
Exit Code: 34
Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR:
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
- 1 fatal error(s), 0 error(s)
FATAL: Payload 'Camera Profiles Installer_8.3_AdobeCameraRawProfile8.0All 8.0.0.15 {3E2A282C-3E78-44F4-AB5F-021300B2CEE0}' information not found in Media_db.
>>
It's always this same error.
I've had this error since the pre-release, and I suspect it has to do with being part of the pre-release program. (We're an Adobe plug-in developer, a Silver Partner--been developing plugins since before InDesign 1.0 shipped.)
Yes, I've uninstalled the Creative Cloud and re-installed a couple of times, from scratch. I've also tried the Cleaner, which hasn't helped.
I'm now officially stumped.
Can someone from Adobe help fix this?

I do not work for Adobe... you need to contact Adobe... try the chat link I posted

Why do I get the message "there was a problem backing up to iCloud, try again later"??

I keep getting a "Try again later" message when I try to back up with iCloud. Can someone tell me why??

exactly the same problem, and so far no solution, this after two weeks of senior advisors at Apple messing with my icloud account...

Icloud setup gives error "problem turning on Mail" "there was a problem turning on your email, try again"

No, I don't have multiple Apple IDs. No my email address is not taken. Running IOS 6.1. Is Apple ever going to solve this?

Have you tried the simple things first like a reboot...hold both the power and home buttons until the Apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears? Sometimes it is also necessary to remove and reenter a password in case it has been corrupted. And sometimes I have just had a bad connection signal and that has been the issue.

When I try to create an iCloud email it tells me "problem turning on Mail" "there was a problem turning on your email, try again"

I have re-started my phone and re entered my address (or what I want it too be) I have wi-fi and I am getting my other email (gmail, aol, etc...) but this is not working for me.. can you tell me what to do??
thanks in advance

Curve 9300 error message: there was a problem during installation. Please try again when using app world

hi
I have a curve 9300 using os 6 and the latest app world 2.1.1.. something
when i try to download apps it initiates the download then after a couple of seconds after starting it shows the error message "there was a problem during installation. Please try again"
i have tried ALL the suppourt forums (KB26671 and KB30074) and suggestions/threads and called my network but none have worked.
these were reinstallign app world, making a new blackberry id as the other email address was associated with an old blackberry, security wiping the phone then restoring it and entering the new bb id, changing the date to 2014 and then hard wiping the phone and restoring it
i have twitter, facebook and bbm ect apps but these are RIM made i think and already preinstalled. everything else on the phone works fine
i have tried both wifi and network internet and battery pull
i really dont know what else to try or who else to contact to fix it. very annoying paying for a service you cant even use!
any help or more ideas would be great!
thanks

Hello carckberrypie,
In this case i would recommend wiping the BlackBerry smartphone. To do this we would need to back up the BlackBerry smartphone http://bit.ly/aSediX
Once backed up please follow the link below to perform a security wipe of your BlackBerry smartphone.
Link: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14058
Test the BlackBerry smartphone and proceed with a selective restore as outlined below.

There was a problem completing the backup - help.

Does anyone know why my iphone 4 continues to display 'there was a problem completing the backup, please try again later.'
My ipad2 backs up to the cloud perfectly which I updated to ios5 on 13th October. I have only used 300 megs so far.
Iphone was updated to ios5 on the 12th October. I have asked the iphone only to backup minimal data to rule out lack of space.
I have synced to itunes numerous times. I will attempt to leave it plugged in tonight and connected to wifi to see if it does it automatically,
but it did not do this last night when the ipad2 managed to do it. Basically, when I click back up now within the iphone it displays the
'there was a problem completing the backup, please try again later.' error after 10 seconds or so. Is it server overload still at this point or
what? Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

Stll no backup even after a night with iphone plugged in, locked and connected to wifi. Anyone got any thoughts on the matter.

I install LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I installed LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it with less than 7 karakters. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary? How do I do this if so?
I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
Thanks again for your help.
