Trouble with Maverick install

Trouble downloading and installing Maverick on Mac Pro. Computer is from 2007 and running snow leopard Mac OS X (10.6.8)- seems ot have plenty of available space and memory...

There are ways to get Mountain Lion or Mavericks onto a 2006 or 2007 Mac Pro. Some are discussed at xlr8yourmac.com.
Do you have a specific need for Mavericks? I am running it wirh caution on only one drive, until the various bugs are addressed. Still using Snow Leopard for everything that matters.
If you are worried about the lack of security updates for Safari 5, just use something else. Current versions of Firefox or Chrome work in Snow Leopard.

For Example,

I have a cd rom for my italian class, which I cannot open on my macbook pro with mavericks installed, someone said I need Rosetta! Help please

I have a cd rom for my italian class, but am unable to load it on my macbook pro with Mavericks installed.
Someone has said i need Rosetta, but understand that Apple stopped installing this!1
Can anyone suggest anything to help me??

Many educational CDs have not been upgraded due to lack of funds in the educational market to pay for the such updates.
This situation is due primarily to the fact that one of the major political parties in this country favors tax cuts to the rich while cutting federal educational support funding (or eliminating the federal Department of Education altogether).
However, you can restore Rosetta and run your educational CD if you install Snow Leopard Server ($20) into Parallels (up to $79) for use in Lion/Mt. Lion/Mavericks:

I bought used iMac 2007 with Mavericks installed but iPhotos was missing. I reinstalled Mavericks but didn't get iPhoto. Now if I want it I have to buy it? Is there a way to install it without having to pay for it?

If you own any verson of iPhoto '11 then there is a free update to version 9.5.x in the App store
If you own a previous version of iPhto (iPhoto '09 or earlier) then as always an upgrade to a new version (in this case iPhoto '11) is a paid upgrade and you purchase it in the App store
and no OS update/upgrade contains a version of iPhto - it is a seperate program and although it is included as part of every new Mac it is not a free program and never has been sinve version 1 or 2 (I forget when it changes)

Has it occurred to you that CS3 isn't compatible with Mavericks? Try using CS9 or 10.
Sorry that's untrue. I have Photoshop CS3 running on 10.9.
CS9 or 10? Now you are just making stuff up.
Adobe claim CS3 will work, with a minor issue…

The Adobe updater fails to work for me.
I was prompted to install J6RE which came from Apple, check the Apple support downloads http://support.apple.com/downloads/#java%206
Sorry can't provide a direct link, it was just a dumb 'You need … please click install' dialog.
I think the 10.9 java updater is installing version 7.

Any trouble with Mavericks installation?

Any trouble with Mavericks installation?

I too have upgraded four of my Macs to Mavericks and had no problems at all with any of them. One of the flaws of discussion groups is that one gets a skewed idea of the number of problems that users have because it is human nature to complain about something, whilst the majority of users who don't have a problem seldom bother to remark on this fact!
I, like most of the successful upgraders here, always follow a simple routine that involves firstly backing up, then (if upgrading multiple Macs) creating a bootable drive with the updater on, using Disk Utility or similar to repair permissions before upgrading the OS. I never use the Mac when upgrading and close all the programs and disconnect all external drives, save for the one with the updater on.
Following this routine means that I have never had a problem with an update since OS 7.5 on any of my 16 odd Macs. Of course, smugness always comes before a fall...!

Screen trouble with maverick

Since installing Mavericks I have had trouble with the monitor and/or QuickTime7. Sometimnes a movie goes into a flurry and must a) close the movie and open it again or b) close QT and reopen program. And sometimes the whole screen goes into a flurry and I have to force quit and restart. Thought there was just some update coming soon for the screen and/or fglash/java, but nothing has happened, and this NEVER happened with Mountain Lion…

Endless Trouble with Mavericks

I've had to move my HP printer frequently between locations. I have struggled endlessly setting up, and using my Deskjet 3050 610a with Mavericks on my Mac. I have spent hours searching the HP & Apple forums & support pages for workarounds which either do not work or work inconsistently. The issues have ranged from wireless connection, to installing the printer on computer, to getting the scan to work. The latest, missing "Scan Save" from printer webpage, is just the latest in the string of endless frustrations.
Would someone please just tell me, if HP/Apple will ever release software & drivers? And, please don't tell me Apple Update takes care of the updates, because the drivers are supposedly up to date, but obviously not functional.
It has been six months since release of Mavericks, and I am seriously wondering if any HP printers will ever work - as they did before Mavericks - on my Mac.

If you can use a computer which runs Windows or older versions of Mac, you can connect the printer wirelessly. Then afterwards add your printer onto your Mavericks system.

Trouble with Leopard install...

I am trying to install leopard on my macbook pro and it showed an icon of my HD with a yellow exclamation point, saying I needed to change my install options. The only two options were Journaled or case-sensitive Journaled. (both needing to erase my HD.) I selected Journaled and clicked install. The DVD ran a check and then said that it could not be installed, with this error message:
"Installer could not create the folder "/Volumes/MacintoshHD/BaseSystem.pkg.1432Vz5v8"
I clicked on restart to try again. It is currently checking the DVD again. If it fails, what should I do?
thanks

If there's nothing on your hard drive that you want to preserve, I suggest erasing using the disk utility on the installation DVD. You can access this utility from the "utilities" menu, and use the Disk Utility to verify the disk before you proceed with the install. I suggest doing a full "write to zeros", which will take a little while but will be one additional way to ensure that the disk is functioning correctly.

Sky Go seems a little behind the times in their support for the Mac OS X platform.

Can't Boot From Mountain Lion Startup Drive on MBP with Mavericks Installed

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to boot up my late 2013 15" MBP (shipped with Mavericks) using an external startup disk running Mountain Lion. I really need to use the FCP iChat Theater feature, as I need to do some long distance editing. The startup disk works just fine, I checked it on another computer, but when I restart my Mavericks mac and choose it as the boot drive, I just get a grey screen with the universal "no"symbol (circle with a slash through it).
Any ideas on how to get around this issue?
Thanks!

Starting up from a system version older than the original one is not supported and usually not possible.

Hi i bought a new 500gb hard drive on my 2011 macbook pro, it is a blank hardrive and i forgot to save my other files on an external hard drive , i have a usb stick with mavericks installed on it. can i just go ahead and do a straight install by using it?

hi i have a macbook pro 2011 model, i decided to upgrade my hardrive and bought a 500gb blank hardrive, my query is because i wasnt able to save most of my files and my operating system to an external hard drive, i have a usb stick with a mavericks os installed on it. will i be able to do a straight install by just doing this method? i will be grateful for any tips or help u might offer, thanks.

Is it just bootable or does it have the Mavericks installation files on it? If so, yes. If not, no. You might consider getting an external enclosure. Put your old drive in it and boot to its Recovery partition. You can install from there. As a matter of fact, you can run Migration Assistant and get all your stuff over too.

Browser troubles with newly installed Tiger

Since installing 10.4.6, I'm having trouble getting to most websites with any of the browsers on my machine. This includes Safari, Camino, and even Internet Explorer 5.2. The problem is not consistent, as I will get an error message several times, and then get through (sometimes). An example of the error mesages:
Google Error
Not Found
The requested URL /exchange/ was not found on this server.
My ISP (Earthlink) suggested I delete all cookies containing earthlink.net, which did not solve the problem. I tried deleting all cookies, which still did not solve the problem. I don't know if it's a compatibility problem between the browsers and the OS, between Earthlink and the OS, or what. Help!

Intermittent sounds like Hardware, but try trashing the "/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist" for a start.

Trouble with Maverick, lost everything on MBP upgrade?

Im not sure what to do next, and afraid I may have lost everything a moment ago
so would really appreciate some help at the moment.
-- Last night I started downloading the Maverick upgrade from app store, woke up and pushed the button to start the install.
-- The screen was showing the green bar at the end stage of the install for an hour, even though it was saying "less than a minute remaining"...
-- I didn't know what to do, so I abandoned without thinking and shut down => restarted => now the computer is taking me through the steps as it did when I first bought the computer.
-- Im afraid I may have wiped the system clean when I aborted the install (?)
-- I started going through the steps, but then stopped when I realized what was happening. Shut down again, restarted in "safe mode" but still getting the set-up (choose your main language) welcome page.
What can I do to get my data back? I moved over to an iMac recently so havent been backing it up with time machine, have a few very important files on the desktop that I would really like to try and recover...
I know this was lame to not have a backup.
Any advice from any of the pros out there,
please help!

Hi, I had exactly the same situation.
Yesterday I managed to reinstall without loosing any data.
I did following:
1) I have installed Maverick OSX once again to external HDD. I pressed CMD-R when booting and selected second option Reinstall OSX and have chosen external drive.
Then I booted from external HDD and WAS ABLE to access all my data on internal HDD. So I did BACKUP and copied them all out to ext HDD.
2) I removed external HDD with backup and pressed CMD-R during restart. I have selected again second option to Reinstall OSX (this time on internal HDD). Everything went smoothly (except the last minute was much longer, but don't panic again - shame on Apple) after installation has completed and did natural reboot I had all my profiles and all my data ready in computer. No need to restore anything from backup
