Trying to install Mountain I get message "error occurred".

I am trying to install MLion.  First my disk was corrupted, so I erased it and installed Lion again.  I then upgraded the software, and began to try to install Mountain Lion again.  Both times I tried it stopped saying "Error occurred" next to the download button in apps.
I did not load anything else.  The only thing I did was set the energy settings so it wouldn't time out during the process.
Thanks for help.  This is my second MacBook Pro that has had this problem.

ok next thing to try if you havent alreay done it is to reformat the drive writing zeros ( use security options button). I have experienced errors carrying over a quick reformat.  Then install snow leopard and install Mountain lion directly on top of that ( dont do Lion)
cheers

  • HT6413 When trying to install iCloud I get an error message

    When trying to install iCloud I get an error message:  "Specified account already exists".  I am requested to update iCloud - which I don't already have - on a regular basis but always get this error. I have iTunes and an iPod, and I also have Outlook which is closed (Not sure if this makes any difference)
    Why do I get this error and how can I prevent it from happening?
    Thanks.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Trying to install Mountain Lion, getting Disk not formatted properly

    I am currently running osx 10.6.8, trying to install Mountain Lion and when I am selecting the drive to install too I get:
    "This disk is not formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)..."
    This is my master HD so i cant really just reformat it? Im not great with macs so step-by-step would help.
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro8,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i7
    System Version:          Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
      Kernel Version:          Darwin 10.8.0

    Open Disk Utility, select your Macintosh HD volume. In the status area at the bottom check that it is partitioned using GUID. Now click on the Journal icon in the toolbar above. This should fix it for you without having to reformat the drive.
    Since you have the downloaded Mountain Lion installer I suggest you make a copy of it in your Downloads folder. Then do the following:
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
        Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
        Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
        the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
        must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
        installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
      a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      b. After DU loads select your flash 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.
      c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.     
          Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
          the process has completed.
      d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
          list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
          button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
      f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
         drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
      a. Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
      b. Open Disk Utility.
      c. Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
      d. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      e. Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
      f. Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
      g. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • Computer crash. Trying to install updates and get this error ""This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another" when you enter a serial number in the Serial Number Upgrade screen."

    My computer crashed.  Ugh.  I downloaded Photoshop CS3 (my first full version) and when I tried to upgrade ( I have upgrades to CS6) I get an error message.  I remember having to call Adobe for help when I purchased CS4 but can't find a number to call them.  I keep getting directed to help screens which are no help.
    Any solutions?  Is there a "generic" serial number I can enter to get my upgrades installed?
    I have a photoshoot that I need to edit asap.  I really don't  want to have to go back to CS3 version.
    Thank you to anyone who can help! 

    Doglovr1 you will want to locate the qualifying full version serial number which qualifies you to upgrade to CS6.  I did review your account and the only full version serial number was for an education version of Photoshop Lightroom.
    I would recommend contacting our support team directly at Contact Customer Care to see if the qualifying full version serial number can be found.  Also I would recommend referencing case 0181578817 which is your previous case from 2010.

  • Trying to install iTunes and get this error: "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured   Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified"

    HELP!!!
    I am trying to install iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop and get this error:
    "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured   Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified"
    Arghhhhh!! I've tried different browsers and various other things suggested on other posts to no avail  

    Ok people, I think I have found the solution !
    If you click on the start button from your desktop screen.
    Then in the "search programs and files" field type : apple software update - you can find the apple installer.
    Click on the apple software update line and let the machine run it's course. I recommend updating whatever it wants to , ie: safari 5, quicktime, itunes....
    I then restarted my computer and it seems to be working now !
    Good luck everyone !
