Trying to reinstall Mavericks but keep getting an error message

I'm having some problems with my MacBook Pro so I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks.
I hold command+R at startup and get to the OS X Utilities.
I click "Reinstall OS X." I already tested it and I AM connected to the internet.
I click "continue" when it says it needs to verify the eligibility of my computer with Apple (it's definitely eligible).
An error message pops up. It says "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again.
It's plugged in, I've tried restarting, I've checked the internet connection and it's working fine.
Any idea how to get this to work?

If possible, set the system clock as instructed here. If you can only start up in Recovery mode, see below.
Select Get Help Online. Safari will launch. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your bookmarks, but you won't need them. Load this web page.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
date 0801000014
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. Paste into the window by pressing the key combination command-V.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. If it doesn't appear, press return.
Quit Terminal to return to the main screen. Try the installation again.

Trying to update my iTunes but keep getting the error message "the URL could not be opened" what does this mean and how do I resolve this? It's always worked fine in the past!

Select a broken track and press ctrl-i to Get Info. Look on the summary tab for the location where iTunes "thinks" the file should be. Where is it really? Post back the two locations and I can suggest the best approach.

I was trying to download iBooks, but keep getting an error message. Other apps do download.

I seem to be able to download other apps, but when I try to download iBooks I get an error message.

Hi,
I just updated my iTunes account and added a valid credit card in addition to the gift card, waited a while, and iBooks still would not install, so I thought, I did not do much yet so next step.
I went ahead did a 'Erase all Content" and settings, gave the iPad a new name, and strated over - still the same problem: iBooks crashed rigth after it started installing, with the "An Unknown Error occured message"
Ok next try is to download iBooks on iTunes on my Mac, and then sync the App over to the iPad .. and I have iBooks installed on my iPad.
... Not quite sure what did the trick, but I would recommend every body in this thread to download iBooks on iTunes on the PC or Mac and sync it back to the iPad . that worked for me.
good luck everybody and thanks for all of your help !

I am trying to install iTunes, but keep getting this error message. Help!!

Anyone ever come across anything like this?
I've had iTunes on this computer before, but tried to update and this happened.

Are you saving the installer first and then installing, or are you running the installer directly from Apple's website? Also save first.
If you're saving first and still having issues, try and use Microsoft's Cleanup Utility and then reinstall Quicktime/iTunes:

Make sure it's a new and fresh download from:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If not mentioned in the articles, make a new user account in Windows and see if iTunes opens. That will tell you if there's something funky in your main account (if the new user works), or if you have a system-wide issue.

My hard drive fried and had to be replaced. I'm trying to install CS4 from my original discs but keep getting this error message - "One or more of the required components of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard failed to install correctly". A customer service rep gave me a link to download off the Adobe site, but when I try to open the file to run it, I get this error message - "A problem occurred extracting the archive".
Can anyone help?

Yep. Nothing happens at all. Windows tries to execute the uninstaller, but I don't get any other screen and all activity stops for the MSI. I monitored it in Process Monitor and the MSI executable appears, but is quickly ended, like it couldn't find anything or something.
It's as if windows has a blank entry in Programs and Features, because it used to show the size of the Adobe application in the "Size" column. Now it's just blank. Link to screenshot below:

Note the install date. That's when I was able to successfully reinstall it. Now I can't even do that. I should also mention I tried Revo Uninstaller. It deleted one small registry key, but nothing changed.
By the way, is the CS cleaner supposed to ask for a disc in the drive when you run it? It refused to run unless I had one in it, so I used my install dvd.

Hello:
I am very much a novice with Final Cut. I am trying to import some video files from my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown". The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1). Can someone help? Thanks, Paul

You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

I'm trying to upgrade to the latest iTunes, but keep getting an error message C:\config.msi\7db625.rbf

Please help

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I am trying to add a hard disk but keep getting an error message to add null disk

I am trying to add a hard disk but keep getting an error message to add null disk. How do I fix this problem?

When installing a new OSX, it is not unusual that some applications will not work. You have to check with the developer to see if they have upgraded to the new OSX or find a substitute application.
In regards to your new HDD, most of the time they come formatted for Windows, not Mac. Connect the HDD to your MBP and open Disk Utility>Erase. To make it compatible, select 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' as the format. Click on the Erase button. You then should be able to read and write to it.
Ciao.

Right. If you are using delegated privs and sudo, make sure that sudo is configured to pass on the PERL5LIB and ORACLE_HOME environment variables at least.
