Unable to install OS X Maverick on iMac after download

After downloading OS X Maverick nothing happens upon clicking download. I meet all necessary requirements from what I can tell.
Any solutions?

I Have the same issue with a different error msg. Gets to aboutb15 mins install then fails.
ive tried repairing disk (judging by the log the installer does this anyway during installation).
ive even tried booting from USB key with the installer on a separate volume, this produces the
same error. My files are still on the disk, It just won't accept Yosemite ans Mavericks seems to not be there
aanymore to roll back to.

  • HT201364 Unable to install OS X Mavericks

    Just bought this computer and am unable to install OS X Mavericks. I get a message telling me that I cannot install it on this computer. I'm at the point of W..T..H? A brand new MacBook Pro 15 and it won't accept Mavericks? Now what? Back to the Apple Store? A.r.g.h.h.h

    Yes, I reviewed all the requirements...and yes, I have the required disk space. Frustrating experience, this is. So far, everything else seems to be working out as I expected.

    Many Thanks, Kurt.
    I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
    I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
    You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

  • Unable to install Pages on to my iMac

    I have a iMac with X Lion 10.7.5 OS and am unable to install Pages. It asks that I install the latest OS upgrade which I am unable to do until I upgrade my memory. I have a purchased copy of Pages (using it on my Mac Book Pro) Is it possible to install a previous version of Pages onto my iMac? and if so how?
    Cheers

    Yes you can install a previous version, it depends how you bought it.

  • Unable to install Adobe Flash Player in iMAC with OS X10.7.2 Any suggestions?

    Unable to install Adobe Flash Player iniMAC with OS X 10.7.2 Lion. Any suggestions?

    I have administrative prviledges.
    I obtained the latest version from the Adobe website.
    When I double click on the .dmg file I receive a message that I need to close open browsers which I do.
    Then I get a message stating that Adobe will be installed when I reopen browers.
    Finally when I check the Applications folder I find a file titled: Install Adobe Flash Player.
    This same application is shown in the dock.
    When I click in the file in either the Applications folder or the dock, the complete installation process starts again.
    Any suggestions?

  • Unable to install Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 after CS4 install

    I have no idea why this could be, but I have recently installed Adobe CS4 Web Standard without Dreamweaver, then Dreamweaver CS5 edition on a clean install and as I was about to install Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 from an installation CD I got this message:
    "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed.  Setup will now terminate.
    Thing is... I never installed Adobe Acrobat on this machine after the rebuilt, and I can't see it in the listing  of my installed programs, so why do I get this message?
    I would like to know, what can I do that Adobe Acrobat 8.1.0 continues with the install.
    Are there applications in CS4 that send this false alarm of Acrobat already being on the machine?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you looked at the add/remove programs list to be sure there is no part of Acrobat there? You might use a registry cleaner (MS or CC typically) to clean out any related issues for Acrobat. I agree with you conclusion if AA has never been installed, but CS4 may have been the culprit in the installation process.

  • Unable to install Windows on an 2010 iMac with home-made Fusion Drive

    Hi there,
    I've been very happy using mi iMac eversince I installed the SSD alongside the HDD.  Only recently I tried to install Windows 7 but it doesn't seem to work.  The installer runs, it seems as though Windows is installing but it doesn't ever seem to be able to boot.  I've tried countless times.  Everytime it boots to Windows it shows nothing but just a black screen with the cursor blinking at the top left corner.
    Now, when I home-made the Fusion Drive the Mac OS was only 10.8.2 or older and I know that with 10.8.3 Apple has made improvements towards boot camp and especially the 3TB HDDs.  I wonder if this could have anything to do.
    Anyway, please enlighten me as to what is it that I need to do to make it work.  I've been reading something about the position in which the Windows partition resides compared to GUID and EFI but honestly I have just the tiniest idea about all that.  Just for the record, the following is what shows in the Terminal after diskutil list command:
    diskutil list
    /dev/disk0
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *256.1 GB   disk0
       1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s1
       2:          Apple_CoreStorage                         255.7 GB   disk0s2
       3:                 Apple_Boot Boot OS X               134.2 MB   disk0s3
    /dev/disk1
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *1.0 TB     disk1
       1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk1s1
       2:          Apple_CoreStorage                         942.3 GB   disk1s2
       3:                 Apple_Boot Boot OS X               650.0 MB   disk1s3
       4:       Microsoft Basic Data                         57.0 GB    disk1s4
    /dev/disk2
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:                  Apple_HFS Fusion Drive           *1.2 TB     disk2
    Hope you can help..!

    Hello again, by reading a couple of posts I learnt the steps and so, using an external OS I repartitioned the two internal drives making sure the Windows partition wasn't part of the Fusion Drive.  I was very excited as I was sure it would work and went ahead and started the Win7 installation even before the MacOS was restored into the iMac.
    No good news though.  The installer run as expected however, when the time came for the iMac to boot from the newly installed Windows7, all I saw was a blank screen and a blinking dash at the top left corner of the screen.
    Lastly, this morning I woke up to see that my old system was fully restored from Time Machine external back up.  I also leart that using the Boot Camp Assistant I could remove the Windows partition that I created on Terminal from the external OS, which was surprising, I honestly thought that that partitioning arrangement would be off-limits for the Boot Camp Assistant.
    Still, I haven't been succesfull installing Windows back to my Mac, can anybody help?

  • Unable to install OS X Mavericks to main HDD on Mini. Help Please!

    Hello, I'm having a difficult time installing the update from Mountain Lion to Mavericks. I had no trouble when I updated to Mountain Lion. I downloaded the Mavericks update but when it comes to the point that I need to select the disk where I want to install it is where I get stumped. I try to select the main hdd but it wont let me and I get a message in a liitle box above the main hdd icon saying "This disk is used for Time Machine backups". The problem is that it's not true. I have a seperate external HDD for my Time Machine backups. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance for any help!!

  • Unable to install Yosemite on mid 2011 iMac 27"

    OK, so I have tried to install Yosemite on this mid 2011 iMac for two days now and I get the exact same error message every time:
    An error occured when extracting files from the archive AdditionalSpeechVoices.pkg. Abort the installation and reboot.
    I have formatted the harddrive, reinstalled the original OS using the Restore via Internet option (the Mac works perfectly with Mac OS X 10.7.X) and then I try to upgrade to Yosemite via App Store and the error is back.
    Any ideas regarding what might cause this problem?
    TIA

    If you find you'll need to replace a faulty module(s) I recommend you do so from Crucial.com which has an excellent reputation for providing top quality and compatible memory modules for Macs.  They are guaranteed to work and are warranted.  Otherworldcomputing.com is another recognized, reliable source for Mac memory.

  • HT201364 I am unable to install OS X Mavericks on my macbook air 13" it asks me to remove items from my start up disk...how do I do that?

    How does one remove items in the start up disk....
    Thank you

    You apparently have filled your boot disk to a point where the remaining space is below Mavericks installation requirements. It is implying that you need to review your login directory for very large files, or folders.
    Open a new Finder window. In the left nav, select your short login name. Then change the View to list view. If the Size column arrow is pointing up, click it to down and your folders and files will be listed in descending storage use. The folders with an engraved emblem on them were created by the operating system, so do not remove them. Also, resist removing Apple applications found in /Applications.
    Top candidates would be huge iTunes Music or applications content, iPhoto, or video collections. Whatever is taking up your storage will stand out. Generally, you should stay out of your Library folder.

  • Can't install OS 9 on CRT iMac after firmware update

    This is a bit long winded, sorry!
    I bought a "working" 2001 iMac, 500MHz, slot-loader, 20 gig HD, CDRW off eBay (the CDRW didn't!) that ran in OS 9. With an external CDRW it worked well, booting the OS discs fine.
    The previous owner had left his details on a supposedly deleted OS X account, so I decided to do a clean install to remove them with a supplied disc. I noticed in Utilities that a firmware update was available, 4.1.7, so used it, then did a clean OS 10 install, remembering to install the OS 9 drivers too. I bet you can guess what's coming!- yes, the OE discs wouldn't load OS 9.
    Having read postings on this forum (thanks, guys!) I bought a retail version of 9.1 to use, the white/gold one with Sherlock, but this won't load either.
    The main problem facing me now is that I can't update to a proper OSX without updating the firmware to 4.1.9, for which I need OS 9 installing!!! (I'd quite like OS 9 back too!)
    I've reset the PRAM,and even wiped & reformatted the HD and reinstalled the 9 drivers again using the OSX disc and then powering down (you're not meant to, I know!) and still I couldn't load 9 up, trying both ways to load, just getting the "question mark on floppy" symbol.
    Any help, please? Haven't tried target disc mode transfer yet, but could get another machine to do it.
    Thanks for your patience with this matter, Mark Mac.

    I had a similar problem once (I'll spare you the details!) and what I did in the end was this:
    1. Take the hard drive out of the iMac and put it in a FireWire enclosure.
    2. Erase it and put OS9 on it down the wire from another working Mac. You don't necessarily have to use the installer CD; you can just copy the OS9 system across from another Mac and it will work as a valid system.
    3. If you don't think it installed properly (as mine hadn't) put the installer for the firmware update into the startup items folder of the OS9 installation.
    4. Put the HDD back into the iMac and reassemble.
    5. Turn it on, whereupon it should automatically start the firmware update, running natively in OS9. Delete the firmware update installer from Startup Items.
    6. Update to 9.1 if not already, as that is the minimum for installing OSX
    7. Restart in 9.1, introduce OSX install discs and begin installation.
    I know all this sounds a faff, but it worked for me and is quite logical if you think about it - not much can go wrong as long as you don't wreck the iMac while taking it to bits. One extra tip: don't install anything later than Panther on an iMac G3, because it won't be happy. And even with Panther, you might want to consider installing using XPostFacto (see versiontracker) which helps older Macs cope.
    Good luck - let us know how you get on.
