Yosemite crashed on install, now won't DL because of NSInternalInconsistencyException

MacBook Pro 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8GB 1067 MHz DDR3
256 SSD
I tried to upgrade my MBP this morning to Yosemite from Mavericks and it hung towards the end of the installation process. The machine was unrecoverable - it booted as far as the login screen but the profile icons looked incomplete, the password entry field wasn't rendering properly and it went to a grey screen once I put my password in.
I had to erase the HD - I couldn't even run disk repair on it - reinstall 10.6.3 from a CD, then upgrade to 10.6.8 to get the App Store. Now I'm trying to get Yosemite because at least one app I rely on for work (Ghostlab) doesn't run on < 10.7. When I try to download Yosemite I get most of the file before an error message "NSInternalInconsistencyException".
I've tried this 3 times over a cable connection on a fast (120MB) connection. Now I can't even access Mavericks in the Apple store (UK) and I'm stuck without a machine for work. I made sure the firewall wasn't on in system preferences and disabled it on my router temporarily, all to no avail.
Now the machine is stuck on 10.6.8 and I can't work on it unless I get to at least 10.7. What can I do now? Any help would be appreciated; thanks in advance.

Don't use MSI Live Update (neither version). This tool is stupid and dangerous. It is also completely unnecessary, especially when it comes to older boards (like yours). Your board is rather ancient. The chance that there will ever be newer drivers or BIOS Release is close to zero.
I don't know which MS-6712 you have, but here is a list of the existing Retail-Versions:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=searchresult&keywords=6712
Pick the one that is yours, klick to access the product site. You will find the latest drivers there (and BIOS Updates). If you need a BIOS Update, please make sure that it is absolutely necessary, otherwise, please leave the BIOS alone. If a BIOS Update is necessary for some reason, please (in the best interest of your system) flash from DOS only.
In case you do not find your board in the list above, there is reason to believe that you do not have an MSI Retail Board but an OEM-Variant of the MS-6712 series (which is supported neither by MSI nor this Forum (support for MSI Retail Products only). In that case, you should under no circumstances use MSI Retail BIOS Releases on your board as they might simply kill it. MOre Information here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=110544.0

Yosemite failed to install now i cannot get into mac pro

Did you purchased the Full Perpetual License from Adobe for $149.00?, if so then what has happened is that you probably downloaded the Creative Cloud trial version which has now expired.
The license key for the perpetual version will not be accepted to activate the CC version.
Uninstall the existing Lightroom and then download the one available from the link below. The uninstall process will not affect your Catalog, Preferences or personal files but will just remove the application. Install the new download and you license key will be accepted.
Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6
If this is not the situation you face then provide some more details.

Yosemite crashing during install

I am trying to install yosemite. It is constantly crashing during install. it get to the apple logo screen with a progress bar and when the bar gets about 1/4 full it prints gobledeegook on the screen then reboots and crashes again. its a loop. any help would be appreciated. is this the beta or something?
thanks

HI i have the same problem the imac stuck in 1/4 length of the update bar and been like this all night. I guess a trip to nearest Apple Store is unavoidable and got to be fast other way I have no comp. btw this post is from iphone. i Only hope that Apple will have a solution for this.
I Never would expect this kids behaviour from Apple devices. I'm sure if Steve Jobs would be alive that would never happen. Apple going down pure Jobs turn in the grave!

I updated my iPhoto and it now won't open because it says I need osx 10.7.5 to open it?

Powerbook crashed during 10.4.7 install now won't boot!

Hi everyone,
This is what happened to me on Powerbook G4 17" 1.5Ghz - hope my solution helps someone else... although solution is same as what others are saying - just more to let you know my symptoms
I installed in this order:
1) did the 10.4.7 update (64Mb)
2) powerbook crashed during the update (black/white - you need to turn off your powerbook by using the power button)
3) a sinking feeling hit my stomach
4) rebooted - no go - on grey screen again reboot using power button
5) again
6) again
oh sh*t
1) So put in install disk and run disk utility
2) oh no - not good
3) repair permissions - ok that works
4) repair disk - no go - catalog something or other errors which can't be fixed
I have downloaded the combo update on another PC - burnt the dmg to a CD
then safe boot the Powerbook (hold down shift)
then after like 10-15mins log in
put CD in
open dmg
do combo update
then restart
then it restarts itself again after the grey screen
and now it's working - well booting and logged in ok
time to test
l8r all
Jase

Michael, I don't think Apple needs to withdraw the
update at all. The fact that the Combo update fixed
your problem just means that it replaced something in
your system that was missing before you updated with
the decimal updater. The decimal updater will update
a perfect 10.4.5 to 10.4.6 but if there is something
missing in your 10.4.5 the decimal update won't
replace the missing part but just update the parts
that need to be updated.
So do we assume bad package/patch management.. or maybe insufficient preinstall checks? I think as so many people are having issues apple should withdraw this patch, and only supply the combo patch!
I'm sorry to harp on here, but apple need to get q&a in order. These things shouldn't happen, and if they do,the recovery steps should be clearly defined (and no, re-install isn't recovery, that's last resort stuff). Apple really need to address their many deficiencies in the recovery department... The OsX dvd install disc recovery has some serious issues, like /tmp being read only (that ones a basic!), single user mode not supporting wireless keyboards... and requiring a meta key not on standard usb keyboards to access it...
Oh, and if it's not too much trouble, can someone from Apple please acknowlegde this problem, and at least say they're looking at it... would be nice.

My MacBook crashed whilst installing, now it won't open. Can you help me?

i had to restart my MacBook after it crashed s it was the only option to take when my computer screen just went black after freezing. Once i restarted, Flash Professional Cs5.5 wasn't installed because I couldn't' find it however there was an option to uninstall it. So i did to try and start the process of installing the software again. Everything went fine until i clicked on the 'install' file when a window came up saying that i should 'Eject the disk image'. This means that it wont let me install Flash professional! How can I eject the disk image and what is it? Thanks,
- Kate

uninstall if anything cs5.5 is installed. then clean (Do a clean install), restart your computer and reinstall.

MacBook Pro lag after Yosemite 10.10.3 now won't boot

About two days ago I updated my MBP 13" (mid-2012) to the latest Yosemite OS update (10.10.3) after which left my laptop constantly lagging and crashing a lot of applications i was using. Last night it was really lagging so I attempted to restart my MacBook but it wouldn't work so I held down the power button to turn it of but when I tried to turn it on and log in again a bar below my user picture would appear, as if it were loading something, then the laptop would turn off again.
I have attempted to use Apple Hardware Test, because I assumed it may have some thing to do with the RAM, but even during the test it was very clear that it was lagging whenever I tried to move the cursor. The test also appeared to have frozen because it just stayed at the same place for about an hour so I just closed my laptop and left it as it was since it was very late at night.
When I turned on my laptop on again this morning the loading bar and subsequent shut down is still happening. Any idea what I can do? I did back up my files two weeks ago so I wouldn't mind if I lose everything in order to fix this.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Yosemite will not install and won't let me change startup disk, it's saying there is a file system problem but disk utilities can't fix it.

I Downloaded the Yosemite upgrade and went to install it on my iMac. The install failed saying file System needed repair. Ran disk utility could do the verify but the repair button was grayed out. When I tried to change startup disk back it wouldn't let me , saying it couldn't gather enough file info. So I'm stuck and can't boot my Mac. How do I get out of this?

Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Try to reboot normally.

Failed install now won't ever install properly

I attempted to install Firefox before, but the network security settings at the time never let me complete that install - it got stopped at the point where it had to reboot to finish.
Now it is caught in an endless loop of wanting to restart Windows all the time, but never completes. The security settings were changed to allow me to install, but now when I download and restart the download, or even when I go to the programs menu and attempt to UNINSTALL the program, it just goes back to the damn popup about needing to restart to complete the original install!!! How in the hell do I get rid of the old one? The folder was deleted from the PROGRAM FILES, but STILL gives me this crap!

Not really solved, but I figured out a work-around. I went to "custom" and installed it to a folder on my desktop, then moved it to my program files. However, I still have the rebooting link in my Start menu, and I can't uninstall the new one even -- goes back to the same garbage as above!
There is obviously some remnant of the old, failed install in the system that is screwing with things, but I don't know where/what!

IWeb crashed...now won't open.

Hi. I was building a site in iWeb and trying to link a Motion project to the site for download. This caused a crash of iWeb and when I tried restarting, I get the "unexpectedly quit" dialog before it even loads.
I'm sure since iWeb lists all the sites you have, I'm sure that it's crashing because of what caused it to crash in the first place. However, I can't get into the program to delete the work and start over.
I've tried deleting the preference file (and the Safe preference file), but it still won't load. Do I have to reinstall?
Andy

I'm not sure how I'd do that. The site in question had not been published yet, if that helps. I had just started building it. What I think might have happened involved a Motion project file. You see, I was actually posting the Motion file to link to another question I had about that program in the Motion forum. I did an: Insert/Choose File and selected the Motion project file thinking it would create a hyperlink. Instead, iWeb opened a Quicktime window which contained a preview of the video I was creating in Motion. I didn't even know that a Motion project could be interpreted that way outside of Final Cut Pro.
Regardless, it worked for a few minutes while I figured out how to do what I was trying to do originally (create a hyperlink to download the file). Then it just shut off suddenly.
Since it was never published, how do I check for corrupt domain files?
Thanks again.

Incomplete Leopard install, now won't boot

Been running OS 10.4.11 on my G5 iMac. Started to install Leopard OS X 10.5 and because of damaged disc, install didn't complete.
Problem is now the iMac will not boot up at all. Tried to bootup from disc by holding "C" down, no luck. Tried the OS X 10.4 disc,
and no luck there either. Help?

An external hard disk with a clone of your 10.4 would be handy Oh Ye of Great Faith.
Have you tried restarting holding down the option key on restart to allow the selection of the 10.4 disk?
Failing that do you have another Mac you could connect to using Target Disk mode and see if your 10.4 disk works in it to reinstall onto your iMac?

Failed Windows install now won't start up in OS X

Hi all, I am trying to install Windows 7 on bootcamp. I have three internal drives. One brand new 1tb 7200 seagate drive that I just put in. Partitioned it for NTFS. Rebooted to the disc ISO but get this error 'status 0xc00000e9' on install which would be ok if not for the fact that I can't boot back into OS X. If I do a hard shut down and power on I hold option and it still boots back into the disc with the same failure. As well if I hold down X on restart it still boots me back into the disc drive as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm going nuts here.

Hello all got it fixed. I unplugged all devices from the tower except the keyboard and pulled out the sleds for the two hard drives that did not have my OS X start up on them. The option key then allowed me to chose startup disc. Not sure what variable it was that allowed this to work.

Repaired OS 10.4.11 HD prior to installing, Now Won't Mount

I was planning to install Snow Leopard onto a 10.4.11 HD in a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4.11.
The MacBook had already been acting strangely, Safari and iTunes both stopped working, but Firefox was working fine. I verified and repaired permissions, and got the message that the disk needed to be repaired. So I restarted, booted from the Snow Leopard CD and used the disk utility to repair the disk. Halfway through it said something about not being able to find the Node, and that the disk could not be repaired.
I then tried to boot from the formerly functioning HD and it cannot be found. Snow leopard's Disk Utility will not mount the HD. What just happened here? And how do I get my my disk functioning again, or at a bare minimum, retrieve the data so I can start from scratch?

Halfway through it said something about not being able to find the Node, and that the disk could not be repaired.
Get your hands on a copy of the latest Disk Warrior and turn it loose on that HD...that HD should be fine afterwards.

Tried to burn backup of iTunes library--crashed mid burn, now won't burn

Last night I was burning a backup of my iTunes Library to DVDs. It was supposed to burn only what's new or changed since my last backup (over a year ago). iTunes estimated that it was going to take 27 DVDs.
I got through the first 10 DVDs and then went to bed. When I woke up this morning, my iMac had powered off. I turned it back on and went to start the backup again. iTunes processed what needed to be backed up, gave the warning that it can't backup a couple of podcasts, and told me it'll take 17 DVDs--the same info as before. But then I get this error message:
"The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry. If you want to retry the current failed burn, Click on Retry. If you want to go to the next disc burn, click on Next. Otherwise click on Cancel."
Regardless of which option I chose, nothing works.
I've called Applecare about the problem. They've had me
-reset the PRAM
-unplug everything from my iMac
-delete the Library > Caches folder from both my hard drive and user account
-test burning a backup from iTunes in another user account (it worked find)
The last suggestion was an archive and reinstall, which I don't want to do (I want to be able to backup my music, but it's not worth it if I have to spend a day reinstalling all of my third-party applications).
(And it's not a problem with the blank DVDs: one that was rejected by iTunes in my account worked fine when I backedup to it from another account.)
Any idea what's causing iTunes to get the aforementioned error message and how I can fix it?
Thanks!

Ok sounds like one of two things happend here
1. iTunes lost its activation during the update. Try clicking on one of the songs in iTunes. Will it play them? If so they this is not the issue. If not it should ask you to provide the user name and ID for your account to activate that copy of iTunes.
2. The other thing that may have happened here is that the iPod was connected to another computer and synced with another instance of iTunes. If this is the case then the iPod will only sync with that computer. You will need to delete the songs off the iPod and reload them from iTunes.
NOTE : DO NOT DELETE YOUR SONGS OFF THE IPOD UNTIL YOU ARE SURE YOU HAVE THEM ON A PC SO YOU CAN RELOAD THEM ON THE IPOD. Once the music files are lost they can not be replaced.
