TM Error "could not install OS X"

I'm trying to do a full TM restore to my Macbook Pro. After 8 hrs of restoring, I get an error message stating "could not install OS X" (sorry, don't have the full verbiage). I restart the macbook, goes through the gray apple screen and then completely shuts down.
Any suggestions? I would die if my restore is unsuccessful!

How are you doing the restore? You should be following the steps listed in item #14 in the [Time Machine FAQ|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964018]. If you're doing something different, that's probably the problem.
Yes, I followed those steps except for running Disk Utility prior to restoring. I doubt that would make a difference, but will try again. I booted up from a Snow Leopard install CD, wonder if it will make a difference if I boot from the original gray disc that came with the machine.

  • Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem.

    Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem. This is doing this when installing itunes/quicktime, safari 5, mobileme control panel, and the software update itself. The itunes version is 10.3.1

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    To start the Application Server, open a terminal
    window
    or command prompt and execute the following:
    asadmin start-domain --verbose domain1 The comand window starts with C:\documents and settings\administrator, should I firstly change it to C:\ ? and how to change to C:\ ?
    Or, on Windows, you can choose
    Programs -> Sun Microsystems -> J2EE 1.4 SDK -> Start
    Default Server No, in my Programs menue, there's no Sun Microsystems.
    Says Starting and Stopping the Application Server
    chapter of The J2EE 1.4 Tutorial:
    http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/
    I browsed the tutorial, it doesn't provide such a trouble shooting.
    Are you sure that you have application server
    installed?Ths install procedure was successfully finished without any error message. Also, I can see J2EE is in my Control Pannel\ Add Remove\Program list.
    What should I do? Thanks!

    I have found issues relating to this issue and voting buttons, we do not use them.
    now the weird part, when logging into OWA, the message shows as corrupted and displays this error:
    Exception

    Exception message: The voting data was corrupt.

    when the same user logs into OWA lite version the message displays fine.
    I have tried removing/reinstalling outlook/office/crm/ ect
    I have setup a whole new pc, still happens
    I even installed outlook 2007 to see if it would happen and it did, im at wits ends, and I cannot put crm back on the users pc until I rule out it. 
    I have tried repairing the exchange mailbox and no corruptions were detected.
    any ideas that can point we in the right direction would be appreciated.
    thanks for your time

    Hi,
    According to your description and the error message, the issue seems more related to the Exchange user account. Because you had re-build a client environment and check the voting buttons.
    I noticed that if you logged into OWA it was corrupted, and it worked well in OWA lite version. A lot of feature were available in OWA lite version. Such as, Reading Pane, Share a calendar, Public Folders, etc. I suppose that the issue also may be caused some
    custom forms loading.
    Following this, I recommend you create a new user account in Exchange, then try to disable and open the feature one by one to test.
    Here is the feature list:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/ilvancri/archive/2010/04/07/exchange-2010-owa-versus-owa-light.aspx
    Reading Pane: Click View > Reading Pane, and then Right or Bottom.
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/turn-the-reading-pane-on-and-off-HA102830304.aspx
    Share a calendar: Use command to turn off it in Exchange server.

  • LSH error on installation server: Could not install DS as a service

    Hi
    we set up an installation server some time ago. In the past all users had administrative privileges therefore no LSH was necessary. Currently we are upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 and the users won't be admins anymore. That's why LSH is necessary now.
    I tried to set the LSH up, but when I confirmed the DS und IS data in the LSH configuration, the following error appeared:
    Could not install DS as a service
    The server provides SAP GUI 7.20 PL 8
    The installer version is 8.6.1.72 (latest!?) and reffering to note 1587566 didn't result in any solution. A similar problem is mentioned in thread LSH on installation-server fails with "Could not start DS as a service" but it doesn't help me either.
    Did anyone figure out similar problems with LSH or knows a workaround/fix?
    Kind regards
    Jann

  • Every time I launch Firefox it pops up an error stating "Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem."

    Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.
    The statement above is in the pop up error box every time, when I launch Firefox. If I click ok in the box Firefox then opens. How do I fix this initializing/launch problem?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install.

    Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install. Appreciate if someone in the forum can help.

    The backup and restore from the iCloud was a little unnerving since the restore erased all information from the iPod.  The iCloud backup and restore took a long time, but worked.  I was very grateful.
    Trying again to backup to iTunes locally proved to be the same challenging problem.  The same backup to corrupt file was the message.  The status bar showing backup seemed to move faster to start, but then slowed to a creep toward the end before the error. 
    When trying to restore a backup in iTunes, the "Restore" button is grayed out since it is looking for a local copy.  Any restore would need to be from the iCloud which already worked but isn't the final solution.
    Your suggestions were good, I am just in the same boat.  Any thoughts about doing the following?
    1) creating a cloud backup
    2) resetting the iPod to factory defaults
    3) removing all traces of iTunes from my computer and
    4) installing iTunes and setting up iPod from scratch.
    This is the next thing on my list.

  • I just tried to install Photoshop 4.0 to my iMac (version 10.9.3) and I was informed that there was an error with the software.  I could not install it.  Where do I go from here?

    Photoshop 4.0 is not compatible with MAC 10.9.3 . You will face issues as when Photoshop 4.0 was launched there was no MAC Mavericks and Adobe has not tested the version on new MAC OS.
    If you want you can download the latest version of Photoshop CC 2014 and you can use it as a trial for 30 days and you can plan to switch to the latest version.

    Hi clinton86,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that are receiving an alert when trying to import a CD to iTunes and are being asked to reinstall iTunes. iTunes and all of its components must be removed in a specific order when uninstalling from a Windows computer. Please use the following article as a reference.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    I hope this helps,  
    -Joe

  • U401 touch windows 8 audio driver unable to install error could not find divice for this driver

    u401 touch windows 8  audio driver unable to 0wau05w8.exe install error could not find device for this driver
    kindly advise

    hi karthi2lenovo,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    If the conexant audio drivers from the lenovo website doesn't detect the device, can you try to:
    1. Open Device Manager (press Winkey+R > type devmgmt.msc)
    2. On the device manager, open Sound, video, and game controllers and Other Devices then check the status (if there's a yellow exclamation mark, error codes, etc.)
    3. As an alternative, try this conexant driver from station-drivers:
    Conexant High Definition Smart Audio
    Version 8.64.59.52 (Win8)
    Let me know your findings,

  • I could not install the upgrade for iTunes and Error message said "can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing" Reinstallling has not helped. Is it Apple's fault?

    I could not install the upgrade for iTunes and Error Message said " Can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing". Reinstalling has NOT helped. . Is the fault with the Apple iTunes upgrade?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

    first off , from the wired computer access the router using http://192.168.1.1 .. check the firmware version .. go to www.linksys.com/download and check the latest firmware available...if the router does not have the latest firmware , upgrade it first. .. after the firmware upgrade , reset and reconfigure the router
    if the router has the latest firmware , then reset the router for 30 seconds .. do a power cycle...access the router ui ..default password is admin..click on the "mac add clone" subtab , enable it and click clone....save the settings and do a power cycle..ensure that the wired computer is online
    on the router web ui , click on the wireless tab ..change the ssid - any non-linksys name , channel - 11 , security mode - wpa , beacon interval - 50 , fragmentation threshold - 2306 , RTS threshold - 2307 ..
