OS X V10.7 Lion :: Recovery HD Does Not Work - How To Do Clean Install

Jun 28, 2012

I have a problem with the recovery partition on my SSD. There is a recovery partition. I can se it in the disk utility but it's seems like it's not working. When I boot the system with the option key I can select the recovery hd but when I do I just get a grey screen with a "forbidden" sign and the computer turns it self off a minute later.I just bought a brand new Macbook Pro 13". I swapped the internal drive to a Samsung 830 SSD but the only way i could get it to boot was to clone the original disk to my new SSD, otherwise the computer couldn't find the drive.

It just booted up with the same grey screen with the "forbidden" sign just like when i now try to boot into the recovery HD.I made a bootstick with the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0 but it can't boot from that one either. I even made it on a different computer running Lion with a working Recovery HD.I also tried to boot from a Lion dvd (and usb) I made from the image I got from the appstore but of course, the same grey sceen appears. The question now is; how do I get a working Recovery HD in Lion so I can make a clean install? The system is running fine with the clone from the original disk but I want that Recovery HD.

Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Mac Pro :: No Recovery Partition - How To Make USB Recovery Boot Drive

Sep 12, 2014

I'm on a 2008 model Mac Pro 8-core system for work.  For whatever reason it doesn't have a recovery partition.  I read that if I don't have a recovery partition, I can't make a recovery USB bootable drive....so how do I make one?  And no, I cannot reinstall the OS on here, that would be beyond detrimental to what's going on here.  (too many details to get into) 

Alternatively, can I make one with my 10.8.5 MacbookPro at home and run it here on my Lion system?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Reinstall Recovery HD To Cloned Drive?

Feb 16, 2012

I recently upgraded the HDD on my MBP and did a clone from my previous HD which had Lion installed. However I've now noticed my new drive does not include the Recovery HD. Is there an easy way to re-install the Recovery HD to my drive without messing with my entire install/system contents? I made a Lion boot-disk on a USB key so I have access to that. I normally do a clean install for all my installs and would love to avoid wiping my HD reinstalling all of lion, just to get the recovery disk.

OS X Mavericks :: After Upgrade From Snow Leopard - Python 3.3 Scripts Fail

Jul 1, 2014

After upgrade to Mavericks 10.9.3 from Snow Leopard my Python3.3 scripts, called through a shellscript, fail. They work fine when called from Python 3.3 in Terminal. The issue appears to be the path. Currently Python 3.3 is located in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3, whereas all the other installations are in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/..., and include v2.3, v2.5, v2.6 & v2.7, plus a "Current" folder alias. I read somewhere that simply adding the new path was not advisable. If that is true, what's the best way to include other version.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Stuck In Recovery Mode - Cannot Erase Hard Drive

Mar 28, 2012

I tried reformatting while running Snow Leopard, but the option was grayed out and the install disc made the computer hang at the white bootup screen. I figured I'd just upgrade to Lion and do a clean install (not an option). 

After upgrading to Lion, I booted into recovery to erase the hard drive. I did it and it took less than ten seconds (bad sign). 

Now I can't get past recovery and the hard drive is still full.

MacBook Pro :: OS X Lion Internet Recovery - Does Not Detect Hard Drive

Jun 24, 2014

I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.7.2 and it recently stopped booting. Got the gray screen with the folder that has the question mark on it. I have attempted to use Command + R to do a Internet Recovery of the system, but once I get to the Mac OS X Lion screen to select where i want to install OSX, there are no hard drives listed. 

So I figure, the hard drive (Hitachi 500GB that came with the Mac) is damaged or not functioning correctly. This doesn't seem to be the case because I can hook it up to a notebook SATA hard drive enclosure, connect it to my other MBP and read all the contents of the drive! This was good news, as i was able to copy off all important data, etc. 

Using Disc utility, the partitions check out, and the drive appears to be functioning OK. 

Verify and Repair volume “Macintosh HD”

Checking file systemChecking Journaled HFS Plus volume.

Checking extents overflow file.

Checking catalog file.

Checking multi-linked files.

Checking catalog hierarchy.

Checking extended attributes file.

Checking volume bitmap.

Checking volume information.

The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.

Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required. 

I have purchased a replacement hard drive and am waiting for it to arrive in the mail. 

My question now is this:

Am I able to do some kind of time machine backup, make an image, or do some kind of target drive restore from this hard drive since it is accessible on my other computer?  

I don't mind reloading the operating system on the original MBP, but would really like to avoid the process of setting up all the applications, settings, etc if this drive is in fact functional.

OS X :: Downloaded 10.5.7 Via Software But Fail To Install

May 19, 2009

I reinstalled my OSX a few days ago and it's back to 10.5.2. After running software update, it has Mac OSX Update Combine (737MB in size). So I clicked install per usual. However, after I finished downloading the file and it offered to restart and install, the installation failed. Meaning during installation, it stops 1/8 of the whole "installation bar" for 8 hours or so and it didn't budge a bit ever since. I'm not sure what to do now. Should I try to download the combo update from Apple website (729MB in size, not sure why the one in software update version is bigger in size) instead? And try to install that one instead?

Mac Mini :: Install Fail Will Not Update To 10.7.4 At All?

Jun 11, 2012

Some days ago I went to upgrade my mac mini 2010.I downloaded the combo-updater, as this is my preference. I sometimes have trouble with the normal updater from software update.When running the install I get this message of error above. I tried doing it different ways, downloaded the updater numerous times to try again.I even REINSTALLED OS Lion from the original installer and started over with the same result, even allowing the installer to dl the update, as it asked to do so.So I completely started over with a clean re-partitioned drive and had the same result. I tethered it to my macbook pro 2010 in FIREWIRE TARGET mode and tried installing it that way, same result. I have also just let the Software Updater utility run and allow it to install the downladed update. That activity returns a "cannot expan" error message...End result: It will not for any reason install this update. This is a problem I have never encountered (in 25 years of using macs).

OS X V10.7 Lion :: 10.7.3 Upgrade Getting Stuck During Install

Feb 5, 2012

I ran the 10.7.3 upgrade (via Software Update) to upgrade from 10.7.2 on both my iMac and my MBP.  Worked fine on my iMac, but the install on my MBP stuck during "Moving items into place...". 

After waiting for about an hour I rebooted the MBP and it stuck on the grey Apple screen with the the spinning clock hands (do they have an offiicial name?),   

I rebooted in Safe Mode and everything looked fine, but with no Internet connection (my iMac had an Internet connection, so no router problems).   

I rebooted again (normal boot i.e. not in Safe Mode) and downloaded the Combo Updater on to my MPB (Internet access now fine - also 'About this Mac' shows the OS level as 10.7.3).  I am now running the Combo Updater on my MBP, but it has once again stuck during "Moving items into place...".  It says the remaining install time is about a minute - it has been stuck here for about 15 minutes, with no movement on the Progress Bar. 

At what point should I give up and reboot?  What should I try next?  Should I have applied the Combo Updater when booted in Safe Mode?
