Windows 7 install failing on brand-new Apple-replaced harddrive

I just got my (8-week-old) computer back from Apple, with a brand new hard drive. Before restoring all my files, I figured I'd get Boot Camp installed so the partitions are set, etc.
Every time I try, the Windows 7 install fails about 10% of the way in, with either a 0xC0000005 error (installation sources are unaccessible) or a 0x80070005 error (the only Apple support document about this talks about an upgrade from Vista, which isn't what I'm doing).
Reading posts, I disconnected my USB hub, and this time I got a BSOD with this error:
iRQLNOT_LESS_OREQUAL
In between tries, I used Disk Utility to remove the boot camp partition, and reset my Mac partition to use the whole drive, so that I could start cleanly with Boot Camp Installer. The one time I tried to launch in Windows and repair, it brought me to the "click any key to launch from DVD" but hitting a key did nothing.
I've installed Boot Camp and Windows 7 twice before with this install DVD, and multiple other times with other DVDs/computers.
Ideas? I'm thinking there's something other than a bad hard drive that was wrong with my computer.

Only by either installing Windows on your iMac as a separate partition through Bootcamp, or setting up a virtual Windows machine via the likes of VMWare Fusion, or Parallels Virtual or Desktop.
Factor in the cost of Windows and I think you'll find a new copoy of Mac Photoshop Elements would be cheaper.
You could also try the excellent Graphic Converter from lemkesoft, or the open-source Gimp,

I need help re-installing itunes. I get the error message: Install failed run preupgrade for Apple Mobile Device Support. Any solutions?

I've been trying to upgrade to/install Itunes 10. When trying to do so, I get the error message: Install failed run preupgrade for Apple Mobile Device Support.
Per what I saw as a response to someone else who had a similar issue, I thought a fix might be to uninstall my existing Itunes, then try to re-install the Itunes 10. I tried that. However, I still get the same error message. Now, I have no Itunes.
I tried to email Apple, and they have not replied.
Anyone offer any solutions?

me too did you get any help?

Brand new apple wire keyboard is "drawing too much power." Why? How do I fix this?

Just bought a brand new Apple iMac, not even a week old. It came with a wired keyboard with numberpad. I accidently left the computer asleep over night and upon returning to it, everything seemed fine. For probably an hour or so, there were no problems, then I started getting spammed with this message; "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled." At the time I have a usb extention, external harddrive, and keyboard plugged into the ports. After removing both the external hardrive and extention, the message coninued to pop, muliplying itself if you did not close it. After researching and doing a little experimenting I was able to determine that the usb port on the right side of my keyboard is the one being disabled. (A mouse will not work when plugged into the port but will on the left side) I have also restarted the computer, shut it down,unplugged it, and started it again. The message returns immediately upon reactivation. As I type this I am being consistantly interupted by the message. I do not have a second keyboard nor am I planning on purchasing one. I am disapointed in this malfunction of a brand new product. Please asist me in resolving this.
Thanks.

Ryan, try resetting the SMC
To reset the SMC

Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.

Is your Mac up to date (10.8.2) ?

Installing OSX on brand new HDD on Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2009

I have installed a brand new solid state hard drive in my macbook pro 13" mid 2009.
I replaced the old hard drive because it was failing.
Now that I have the new hard drive installed I am struggling to get OS X installed onto the new hard drive. I have ruled out using a USB enclosure on the old hard drive to do the transfer because it was failing.
I do have the original OSX snow leopard start up disk. I have tried using this to install OSX onto the new HDD but it would not work.
I think it might be because the new HDD is unformatted?
I have also been into disk utility to try to resolve this but this does not work.
I have tried partitioning the new HDD but I get an error message "Partition failed .... POSIX reports: The operation cannot be completed. Cannot allocate memory".
I have also tried the restore function in Disk Utility to restore the disk using my time machine backup disk, but I get the error "Could not erase target - Operation not permitted"
I have also tried to restore the HDD from a time machine backup, but when I try to select a Destination it says the "disk does not have enough space to restore your system"
Any suggestions on how to solve this would be much appreciated

I assume that you have an original Leopard installation disk or a white retail Snow Leopard disk.
Start your MBP with one of these disks holding the C key down.
Commence the installation process until you get a display with the menu bar on top.
Click on UTILITIES.
From the drop down menu, click on Disk Utility.
Select Disk Utility>Erase.
Format the SSD to 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'.
Continue the OSX installation.
Ciao.

HT5945 java wont install on a brand new mac.

This is a brand new mac and there do not appear to be any previous versions of java installed. When I download Java 7 from oracle
as per the instructions here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_install.xml
downloaded from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-j avase7-521261.html#jdk-7u45-oth-JPR
No joy. it just stops working on the install step. (no errors, it just doesn't respond).
I've tried installing this which also doesn't work (exact same result - does not respond on the install step):
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
on all the other support tickets regarding problems installing java, the above two resources were repeatedly referred to, but they do not work for a new mac with mavericks installed and no previous version of java.
Please help.

mdmfolsom,
the 7u45 version of Java is not the latest version. At this writing, 7u51 is the latest version. To download the 7u51 Java Runtime Environment (“JRE”), go here. To download the 7u51 Java Development Kit (“JDK”), go here.

Premiere Pro CS5 will not install on a brand new PC

I am trying to install CS5 on a brand new PC running Windows 8.1 Pro . The installer says that my computer does not meet the requirements to install Premiere and AfterEffects. However, I know that the hardware meets at least the minimum requirements. Any ideas on how to bypass this and install the two components? THanks.

Hi Allan,
Sorry for the rant up there..   Thanks for your quick response. I couldn't get to an Apple store and can't order anything from the States that contains Lithium ION batteries -- no U.S. Postal Services will deliver these to us anymore. Target sold this to me as an unactivated Sprint phone. I never activated it through Sprint in the States and just took it to Germany with me. I updated to vs.6.0 via ITunes and without the Sprint SIM Card installed. The IPhone is now accessible (Apps, Settings, etc., to be able to check firmware, et al., settings. However, I can't tell if it's unlocked (since I upgraded the version without the Sprint SIM Card installed) until I go to the local cell phone shop and stuff in a BASE (provider) SIM card and test it out. Is there a way to tell whether or not the phone is unlocked without a SIM card in it? I don't think there is....

Where can I buy a Brand New Apple Cinema Display 30"?

Hi,
I Already posted my question in the older Display topic, but I'm not sure it was the good place, so I post it here. If it's not the good place, you can move my thread to the good topic. Thanks.
I'm looking for mounths to buy a brand new 30" Apple Cinema Display. I went to some Apple reseller/Apple Stores and each of them didn't really knew where I could buy it since it's discontinued. I can't believe there is no brand new 30" Apple Cinema Display lying around in some Apple Stores/Apple general center at Toronto or anywhere in USA.
I really want one of them, and I'm ready to make anything to get one (phone call etc). I would like to get some help of where I can call or where I can go to get what I want. The price doesn't really matter now.
Thanks!

Have you done google searches for it ("Apple 30" cinema display")? That's all I can recommend.
A quick google search turned up this page which apparently lists some new 30"s.
Note, I did not follow those links to see if "new" really meant "new".

Windows Install fails to detect VSTO 4.0 in Windows machine

I’ve to install excel based application developed in VS 2010.
Windows installer fails while detecting VSTO in Windows 7/8/8.1. Its perquisites are .Net framework 4.0 client frame work and VSTO 4.0.
Even we have installed VSTO manually and re-run our setup and again we are getting the same error (“Installer was not able to automatically download the VSTO installation”), the custom message. Don’t know what is blocking to detect VSTO on some particular
machine. I'm using only this condition "VSTORUNTIMEREDIST>="10.0.30319" as in Launch Conditions from last 3 years.
Now from last couple of months I'm getting this error when instating my application, somehow when I add another condition i.e. VSTORUNTIMEREDIST>="10.0.30319" OR OFFICERUNTIME>=”10.0.21022”, it works properly.
I want to know that is there any windows patch is released due to which my installer is not able to detect VSTO in machine.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Utshek Jain

> Is VSTO Runtime detection depends on full edition of .NET framework?
I have never seen the client profile mentioned in MSDN. For example, take a look at the

BTW Did you include the required interop files in the installer?
