OS X V10.7 Lion :: Installer Is Not Responding?
Feb 22, 2012
I recently upgraded from snow leopard to 10.7.3. I tried to install the beta of messages. When I tried to run the installer it froze whilst checking if it was able to install on this computer. In the end I had to force quit the installer. This was the first piece of new software I had tried to install since upgrading to 10.7.3. In. The end I gave up. Today I tried to install another application. Exactly the same happened and I had to force quit again. It appears that i am now unable to install any new apps?

Macs Console says this every time I try to update from 10.6.7 - 10.6.8Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â "10:08 PM Installer[244] The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."Â I can't update what so ever... every application basically needs to be manually installed or just comes to an unknown error either restarting the Mac or going through standalone...

Whenever I try to install the latest preview of Mountain Lion, it says"Some features of OS X Mountain Lion are not supported for the disk "R2iMac". The warning directs me here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4649 It seems like it'll let me continue, but once it restarted it eventually said the installation failed. The point is I do have a Recovery HD and I don't know what to do about this. Check out my partitions:And here's the error dialouge: Please advise.

I understand the lion installer evaporates after use. I have three macs and would rather not endure the 2+ hours to download lion for each. As soon as the App Store finished downloading it, it went straight into the install sequence. I've stopped at the software license page for fear that it might proceed after that and I won't be able to stop it prior to the installer disappearing.

I need to make a bootup drive that has 10.7.2 on it on my iMac. I do not have -- however -- a Lion install disk...and I know I can't go backwards with the 10.7.3 that's running on it. I'm totally fine making a new bootable partition...butÂ
How do I start from scratch with 10.7.0...and upgrade only to 10.7.2....with no disks?Â
(By the way, I have a Mid 2011 i7 iMac)

I just downloaded the Photoshop CS6 Beta on my Macbook Air (August 2011) with Lion 10.7.3. The Adobe installer app fails to launch. I just installed CS6 on my Mac Mini Server with no problems and in fact, created a new user on the MBA and the installer app will launch and install CS6 under that user account. I have run the 'repair permissions' utility on the hard drive.What is going on inside my main user account that is preventing this app from initializing?

I recently purchased Lion. When I downloaded the OS on my Mac Pro, it automatically installed itself. Where can I find the installer file if I want to install Lion on another Mac computer?

I have a MBP 13" early 2013 / Mountain Lion 10.8.2...A while ago I got a spinning wheel right after starting my mac. I contacted Apple since my mac was still under warranty, and after further diagnosis, they told me that I have to replace the HD, so they mail me a new HD.Â
I connected the new HD on a USB cable to format and re-partition it using Disk utility (At this point, DU was able to see the HD on a USB connection). After partitioning, I removed my Mac cover to replace my HDs. I booted using a Mountain Lion USB drive, but the installer couldn't find the new HD, just the recovery partition. I bought a new HD from Amazon, same result, my mac can start with teh old HD. Also, the disk utility can read the new HDs if they are on a usb connection, but it cant read them if they are on a SMART connection ! Â

For the past month or so, any time I've tried to go through the process of installing an app that requires Installer to do the work, when it comes time to enter my admin password, nothing happens. The password box pops up, I enter the correct password (as when I enter an incorrect one it does its "incorrect password shake-thing") and, like always, the admin password box disappears. Normally at this point, the installer continues on to install the app, but instead it does absolutely nothing. I can click "Install" again to enter the password, but, again, nothing happens. I've tried changing my password, deleting preference files, doing a disk repair and permissions repair - nothing.

I'm trying to make an OS X Lion boot disc. A failed Windows 8 Bootcamp install killed my Mac, but luckily I had a Time Machine backup which was accessible via the Recovery Disk. However, I would still like to have a boot disc handy in case something like this happens again and the Recovery Disk is somehow corrupted.Â
I Googled(among other things) how to make one, and the instructions seem fairly simple. Only, I can't find a Mac OS X Lion Installer anywhere. When I bought my refurbished iMac from Apple, OS X Lion was already on it. Since I didn't download it from the App Store it seems I don't have the Lion Installer to make a boot disc... Anything I can do (besides wasting $30 to redownload Lion from the App Store for the file) ?

After an installation failed to complete (which I Force Quit), nothing else will install. I have OS X Lion and am wondering if there is a way I can remedy this without bringing it into a professional? The program was Cubase 4.

I am currently installing OSX 10.7.3 on an external passport HD for my wife whose Macbook hard drive has died. I now have all the system up to date but have encountered an odd problem. All the .mpkg installers are opening in Terminal not the Installer utility, which I can't find. My choices are in Open with: Terminal, App Store and Other.

Just downloaded 10.7.3. The installer takes me to a box to select the hard drive where I want the new OS to go, but it is greyed out. Cannot select it.

i'm attempting to load win7 onto my MAC. Thus far i have downloaded the .iso image off MSDN (throught my university, for all intents and purposes should be as legitimate as an off the shelf copy)Â and burned it to DVD as a bootable disc image. however for some reason when using Boot Camp im told "The installer disc could not be found".There is data on the disc however when i go into the disc via finder it appears empty (no icons)... even though it is not (get info > xyzMB used).

1. Lion's (10.7.3) user interface becomes nonresponsive/'freezes': trackpad cursor moves, keyboard can be used for typing, BUT gestures stop working and "Dock" is not responding (it is hidden automatically).Â
2. Tere are frequent "nfs server localhost:/5pBJvp-jULTJrbfF3Hpvc5: not responding nfs server localhost:/5pBJvp-jULTJrbfF3Hpvc5: is alive again" error messages in Terminal while I am running 'find' command.
These error messages seem to be correlated witth the user interface 'freezes'.Â

I have a MBP (Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard) with 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB SDRAM. I am trying to to upgrade to Mac OS X Lion. I have attempted to create a USB installer with a Lexas 16 gb USB memory stick and I have gotten the following error towards the end of the restore:
"Restore Failure Could Not Restore- Cannot Allocate Memory".
What does this mean? Is there anything I can do other than attempt burning a disk (which I don't want to do cause of the lengthy process)? When I review the contents all the installer files are present. Upon rebooting, it appears the installer is working but I have not initiated installation out of fear that the installer is incomplete. Should I attempt installation?

I just bought an SSD for my MacBook Pro and I am trying to use a Lion recovery installation USB hard drive that I created when Lion was first launched. I have successfully used this drive to install Lion on my old MacBook but I can't actually remember using it for this MacBook Pro.
When I try and do a clean install of Lion on my MacBook Pro with this new SSD, instead of installing from the drive like I have successfully done in the past, it's trying to download a 4.044 GB package from the Internet. I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't estimating 5-6 hours to download and it's already failed to download twice?
I figure it's downloading it again for few possible reasons.
1. There is a more current installer available than this one I am using so its trying to download a current version.
2. I can't use this installer because it was was created on a different MacBook.
What the reason might Be?

Upgraded to Lion recently. Trying to update printer drivers. All attempts to open official Apple printer drivers packages result in: "The Installer can’t open the package. There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions."Â

When installing apps through Installer (from .dmg disk images and .pkg packages), everything works smoothly until it asks me for a password. When I enter it, Installer goes back to the screen before it asked me for the password. When I click next, it asks me for my password, and the cycle repeats. I tried removing my password to no avail. I can install .pkg files from the sudo installer -pkg command. I dont know how to do this for installers that are in app form.

Safari, iChat and Installer aren't working on my Mac, my Mac is version 10.7.2. Safari and Installer aren't responding, and iChat doesn't open any of the windows. I haven't tried all my other apps, but the ones I've tried clicking on have worked.

Every time I activate QuickTime Player, it responds very slowly, often doesn't open the file I double-clicked on in the first place, and after awhile, begins slowing down my entire system (all other apps) and often goes into the rainbow pinwheel state of "(not responding)". I had some trouble with files/folders being deleted out from under it a month or so ago so I suspect it has something to do with Lion (10.7.3) and its new file system/versioning.
I suspect I need to clear out more cache or some sort of residual state files which are corrupting the application, but don't know where to find them. Or uninstall/reinstall QuickTime but not sure how to do that properly either.

I've been experiencing the same problems since installing the 10.7.3 in February. I have an iMac (2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 - OS X 10.7.4) only 12 months old. When I installed OS X version 10.7.3 I noticed that a variety of applications kept freezing and I would have to force quit them as they were "not responding" The applications varied from itunes, word, excel, disk utility, and so on. It didn't seem to discriminate. I also noticed that the wifi kept dropping out and was rarely detected by my smart phone (not problems with wifi connectivity on phone). The other problem was that I couldn't restart the computer or even shutdown as it would get stuck on a white screen. I would have to turn off with on/off button.Â
I installed the 10.7.3 Combo with some difficulty as it kept freezing as well. It seemed to help for a day but then the same problems came back. Yesterday I installed the latest version update 10.7.4 hoping that this would solve all my problems but unfortunately I am still experiencing the exact same problems.Â

I've just got an iPhone 5S, upgrading from an iPhone 4. I used to manually sync/backup to iTunes, and did one last backup prior to switching which completed with no problems. I thought I'd mention this as this was the last activity before the issue occurred.Â
When using the finder to navigate/open folders, I get the spinning beach ball which just hangs. When forcing to relaunch the window states (finder not responding). I can still use applications and browse the web with no problems, however moving the cursor over the finder results in the beach ball. After relaunching the finder it seems ok until you perform a couple of operations then it hangs again. Â
I have ran Disk Utility and repaired permissions and also restarted etc but the same problem remains. Also deleted preferences (assuming I deleted the correct ones). If I login to another user account then everything seems to be fine, however logging back into the admin user account – same problem. I've noticed that if I turn WiFi off, it resolves the issue. Turning it back on brings back the problem.Â

I am running a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.7.3 and the latest version of Office 2011 with all the updates installed. Both run very slow and now I noticed that when I click on either icon in the dock it says "Application Not Responding" even though the applications are responding, just very slowly. If I close either application and then reopen it, the message is gone until I open a new document.

I recent updated to OS X 10.7.3. Since the update I haven't been able to run automatic updates, it tries to run and then comes back: "The Software Update Server (r344.local) is not responding. Check to make sure your network connection is operating normally. If there are no issues with your connection, contact your network administrator for assistance." So I go ahead and click it - It runs a connection test and I am 100% connected to the net. I really need to fix this as since I have updated OS X half my programs wont open without updates.
