Unable to install OS X after restoring

A Friend of my uncle gave this Mac to me and I restored it, but when trying to install OS X it says item temporarily unavailable, I contacted support, but the page crashed twice, they told me that the Mac may be expecting the original id And I dont know what to do Anymore

i did a little research if you have access to another computer or mac they said you should be able to download from the apple site
OSX on USB drive then insert it in your computer. Do you have the disc that came with the Mac you may be able to do a disc partition as well Im not a mac expert but It may work. I would try the usb trick first, you said the apple support chat crashed right I think It did it to me as well about an hour ago. Let me know if this helps

In trying to install a Flash update on my Mac (version 10.7.5), I'm getting an "unable to install metafile" message after initialization starts (at the 25% point)-regardless of the site from which I download the installation folder.

Hello everybody, good news: after upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.5 I've been able to run the installer and all went fine.
Mountain Lion allows user to force execution through the context-menu (CTRL-click) Open command and it does work, just that simple.
So my advice is: if you want to install or re-install Flash Builder 4.6 on a Mac with Lion installed, upgrade to Mountain Lion or better to avoid problems.
Apple introduced some (not all) Gatekeeper functionalities in 10.7.3 and following, but apparently you need a full-fledged 10.8 to have also what you need to circumvent a Revoked Certificate error.
Since usually OS X has auto updating active, if you are running Lion you end up with 10.7.5 and won't install FB46. If you manage somehow to hold 10.7.2 I suppose you should be able to install FB46, sincerely I didn't check it out. Anyway it's simpler and safer to move on to 10.8.x.

Unable to install Mountain lion after defense grade erase

Hello All,
I just sold my 13-inc macbook pro on eBay. As I am paranoid about my privacy, I decided to do a "defense-grade" erase. It took 10 hours after doing a 7 pass process. However, I am unable to install anything on it (Mountain Lion, Lion, Ubuntu). When I try to install Mac OSX I get the error, "Error installing OS X, try reinstalling". Huh??
Please let me know what I should do. Can I not install anymore? Should I get a new one?
Thanks,
Singlebinary

Here's what I did:
Plugged in my USB drive and started the computer with the option key pressed. I get one choice "Install OS X" which is from my USB drive. After I got an error message, I can cancelled it and under tools selected "Disk Utility". I then selected one partition and the default P table of GUID. So, this has already been done to the drive.
There is no option to select "Reinstall Mac OS X". All I have is the following:
OS X Installer, File, Edit, Utilities, Window.
Under Utilities, I have Disk Utility, Terminal, Network, Restore from Time Machine. I do not have a time machine backup so that does not work either.
Looking at the Installer Log errors, I find the following lines:

Unable to install IWork'09 after update

Thank you all in advance. Any advise will be helpful.
This topic has been covered before, but following the instructions did not solve my problem.
I had Snow Leopard in my macbook pro, then after I broke the hard disk took it to repair at apple assistance and got a machine updated to mountain lion.
TIn snow leopard I had iWork installed from a trial version (downloaded from web site apple) with purchased serial number.
I downloaded the update (for my version) and pages stated acting weird.
I uninstalled everything, wanting to start from scratch but Numbers and Keynote would work while Pages would give me an error message.
Now, I followed some of the tutorials on the forum and deleted all playlists, receipts, .pkg etc related to the program, and deleted (again) iWork.
Now, the message is… unable to install, contact.. bla bla.
In the mean time I bought a new macbook pro (13") that came with mountain lion installed.
I have uses the same .dmg iWork trial version, added the serial number and it works fine.
So, it seems to me like there is no problem with the .dmg file or the serial number with mountain lion,
Just with the updated version on the old machine.
Can you help me?

I am not able to install any addons after updating to firefox 7.0.1. Addons are still working. Addons will start to download but will get stuck at 100% download progress.

Unable to install itunes 11 after downloading upgrade successfully.

Internet Companions:
Problem is I am able to download but unable to install itunes 11. Get feedback message that I lack necessary administrative priviledge to do so;
then I am redirected to follow a confusing process and steps to obtain necessary administrator status to do so. Hence, I need guidance/help clarifying specific steps to take, literally & concretely, to obtain necessary administrator status to successfully install itunes 11.
Many Thanks with much Gratitude,
Michael

Today I want to run the programm and my computer says: "This Acction is only valid for installed productions." (translated from german). I tried to download it again (it works) but then asked for the file iTunes.exe. I check the link to the file but he doesn' take. Uninstalling is also not possible!
Although you're getting a slightly different error message, try the procedure I outline in the following post:

Unable to reply to emails after restoring profile

Hi BB Community,
I'm having problems with sending replies to emails on my Blackberry 8310. I can receive emails and send new emails, but I'm unable to reply to emails sent to me (there's no option). The only option I have is to draft a new email and send.
I've tried having service books resent, hard reset (handheld wipe) and at first it seemed to not have resolved the issue. After trying another hard reset and enterprise activation the second time without restoring my profile and third party apps, I had the option to reply to emails. However, doing the restore after the activation, doesn't restore my apps correctly and it causes the reply issue to reoccur.
My question is, how should I procede from here on? Should I just suck it up and re-download all my apps again instead of restoring, or is it possible (which I think is highly likely) that one of my apps is causing this issue, or could it even be something to do with how I've setup my Blackberry desktop?
Any input would greatly be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think your correct, one of your app is causing the issue. Once you restore, you have the problem again. I would re-download the apps not restore them from the BES. I think that's where your problem is coming from.

Unable to install Aperture 3 after upgrade to OS X 10.8

After upgrading to OS X 10.8, when I try to install Aperture, I keep getting this error message "To open Aperture, Installer must quit and reopen". I have the box version of Aperture 3, so it's version 3.0 and I will not be able to download the latest dmg off Mac App Store. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Try if this download link for the trial version still works: if yes, you can unlock it with your serial number from the boxed version:
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
To be able to run the installer in Mountain Lion you will have to change the System Preferences "Security & Privacy" temporarily to allow "Applications downloaded from anywhere"

After downloading both Lion and Mountain Lion, a popup tells me you can no use this version of the application install OS X Mountain Lion.app with this version of Mac OS X.
What can I do?

You downloaded it from where, how? You need Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 (or at least 10.6.7) to purchase the DL from the App Store. Sounds like it might have been a corrupted, pirated and illegal copy, if you got it from 10.5.
Btw, you will need more than the 2GB RAM you have. You need to max that out.

Unable to install flash player after uninstalling previous version

I am unable to download/install flash player and I had already uninstalled the previous version. I had been playing farmville and my aol emails just fine and they both stopped working and I was told to try "updating" my flash player. Well, I must have done something wrong because it uninstalled ok but now when I download it again, I get "did not pass the integrity check (1629.304.428)" I also tried to reset IE 8 with no help. This all worked until about 4 days ago and I don't remember updating anything within the last week so I am not sure what I did wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
My OS is Windows Vista 64 bit, web browser is IE8, 32 bit, and I don't have a flash player version according to the link that was provided to check, it keeps giving me the link for the general page with no version numbers. Thanks!

Unable to install 4.0 after uninstalling 5.0. Message reads reboot to complete uninstalling, but nothing happens. How to solve?

I un-installed 5.0 and attempted to install 4.0, but I receive a message that I needed to reboot to un-install the previous edition. On rebooting, nothing happens. Several attempts were unsuccessful to resolve the problem.

Michael,
You've got to be kidding?!?! I have to uninstall all versions of the VM?
Even though I think its crazy, I removed 1.2.2, 1.3 and 1.3 RT I still get the
same problem.
Please help
I'm running Win 2000 with the latest service packs installed (pre sp2).

Unable to install Office updates after upgrading 8.0 to 8.1

I have a Windows PC that was upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1 last week. Ever since then there are 39 Office 2013 updates, including SP1, that will not install no matter what I do. The error listed is the dreaded 0x80070643. No Office older than 2013 is installed.
I've tried so far:
1. Online repair of Office
2. Uninstall/reinstall of Office
3. Windows Update repair x2
4. DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
5. Reset Windows Update
6. .NET repair (removal/reinstall)
There are probably a couple more things I did but I didn't get them written down. I've run out of ideas. Does anyone have any idea on how to get this fixed?
Jonathan

As it turned out, in addition to Office 2013 Home & Business that I had installed, Office 2013 Pro Plus somehow existed on the computer though the only visible sign of it was in Programs and Features. It wasn't in the Start Menu or in Program
Files. So how it was on there or why it only showed in Programs and Features I don't know, but it was definitely messing up Windows Updates.

Lingoes translation does not connect to site after install Firefox 4 & after restore to 3.6.16, why?

Running Windows Vista Home Premium on a dual processor with 4 GB of RAM and a HD with 50% empty. Yesterday downloaded Firefox 4 only to find that Lingoes translation software that must connect to the web site for the translations could not; as some other privacy software (GoogleShare & Tor) could no longer be used decided to restore to Firefox 3.6.13, subsequently updated to 3.6.16. While GoogleShare & Tor now function, Lingoes still does not.

Simply download the latest version, Lingoes 2.8, which provides a firefox plug-in to support the feature of text capture.
