Software :: Unable To Install Mac Os X
Jun 29, 2009
I have been trying to install Mac OS X in my laptop.I also have Windows XP installed in an NTFS partition and two FAT32 partitions for my data storage.
I formatted one of my FAT32 partitions and tried to install Mac OS X in this partition.The installation went smoothly until I found the error below The installer could not install some files in "/Volumes/Untitled".Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
I researched in the internet for a solution to this and I found out that Mac OS X is installed in a HFS + journaled partition.I reformatted my partition to HFS+ and tried to re-install the Mac OS X.During installation,the installation setup could only detect my NTFS and FAT32 partitions.The HFS partitions was not in the selection list.

The internal hard drive on my early 2009 iMac is being replaced but I have to reinstall Snow Leopard myself.I did search in MRoogle and at Apple and cannot seem to find instructions on how to perform a clean Snow Leopard install on an iMac internal HD.
Can I do this? And if so how? Or do you think I should try and install Leopard on the existing Hd in the iMac? I still have these discs but have to get the SL applications install disc out of my drive (it's stuck and the iMac won't boot past the blue screen).

I had to Archive and Install earlier today and now I'm trying to update to Mac OS X 10.6.4, however, when running Software Update, and downloading the update, an error message, "An error occurred during installation" popped up while it was trying to install the update.
I've tried to repair disk permissions and apply the update in Safe Mode.

I had downloaded photoshop elements 6 for mac and used the trial period. It ran up and my mother purchased the program on a disc. When I try to install it it starts the setup and then tells me that an error occurred and there is an incompatible payload or something along that line. What do I need to do to fix it. I know I should have just put in the s/n from the box instead of trying to install with the disc but I didn't think that much.

So we replaced our 15 inch macbook pro with a 500 gb hard drive.
We first tried to install snow leopard with no success as it would just load a blue screen then restart. Then we tried to install the original software that came on the mac this loaded up to where we could install it but it did not see a hard drive to install onto.

A security update (from like March or something) and Safari 5 just simply won't install. They are both downloaded, but when I click install it either shows a spinning loading thing for a few seconds, or the install thing for a few seconds, but then it just restarts.

I've noticed that all of a sudden my MacBook Pro stopped installing updates. Lately, the only one that was installed up to the end was an HP printer update. Updates from Apple or from Microsoft Office will not get to the end of the process. It doesn't matter if I try via Software Update or directly from the Apple site. What happens it that the process goes up to the point I click "install" (after choosing the volume - which is the main HD), then nothing happens - no dialog box, nothing. I can click "install" a hundred times (the button remains available). Then I have to quit the installation process.

The system has a NewerTech 1.6Ghz CPU upgrade in it, 1.25Gb of RAM, and 30Gb free on a 80Gb HD. The system doesn't have an Internal DVD, so I attached an external Memorex DVD via Firewire. The system is already running 10.4.11 client and works just fine.
I am willing to either upgrade in place or do a clean load. What ever it takes to get this installed so I can play some...
Currently, when you put the DVD in the drive it shows up on the desktop and you can open it to the Installer.
Upon launching the Installer, you get the message "Mac OSX 10.5 cannot be installed on this machine.

I'm trying to install programs, I get past the agreement page and as soon as i start putting my password in the spinny disc starts spinning... its looks like its installing, writes all the files and when it looks like its installed it says failed, contact manufacturer... I thought maybe it was just that program so I tried a different one and the same thing.

I have a MBP mid 2009 ( 3.06 Ghz - 8GB Ram). Through work I managed to obtain a Lenovo 256GB ( Toshiba ) SSD. When I replace the current 500GB drive with the SSD and boot with the snow leopard (10.6.3) disc, the drive is not recognized. I go into disk utility and the only drive is the DVD drive. I put the SSD in a pc laptop and booted with a Ubuntu Usb drive and it found the SSD first go, no issue, so the drive works.
Info on drive sticker is
Lenovo PN: 45N8206
Lenovo FRU : 45N8207
SOLID STATE DRIVE

I installed a new 250GB WD ATA hard drive in my 450mhz Sawtooth G4. The computer sees the drive, it works in target disk mode but nothing will install.
When I try to install Tiger from the DVD or the 4xCD set it gives an error after a minute of installing and says to restart. The Tiger disks crash my G5 as soon as I try to boot them. When I try to install Leopard via target disk mode from my G5 it says it cannot be installed on this computer.
This isn't one of the computers that has to have the OS installed in the first 8gb of the drive partition is it? I don't want to install 10.3, too much of my software isn't compatible with it. It was running 10.4 fine on the old 30gb drive.

I've searched google but cant find an answer to my question.
I have an external HD, partitioned into 2 volumes, where 1 volume is empty and I want to install Tiger onto this volume.
Trouble is when I boot into the install CD and try to install on this volume it says that it 'cannot install on this volume.Mac OS cannot boot into this volume.'
I found on google that when partitioning the whole ext. HD, there is an option about a GUID or something which allows the drive be bootable.
This would be useful but it would wipe my whole drive, including the other volume.
I do not want to do a clone of my int. HD, and SuperDuper! it onto the ext. HD.

I installed Windows XP SP3 and it installed just fine. I went and bought the Snow Leopard OSX DVD from the Apple Store. The bootcamp installed, etc. now that I tried to install a game, it worked.
Upon start up, it's asking for Direct X, installed that as well. Then it said that it failed because I don't have the driver. I checked and the driver is non-existent for graphics.

So i gave a friend of mine a hand with his 2009 27" i7 iMac by installing Windows 7 for him. Unfortunatly for some reason after you get through all the meat of the install and it restarts to finish off and ask for personal information but here's the problem. The display is showing nothing! You can hear the fans are on and booting into mac is fine but I can't get any farther with the Windows 7 installation because i can't see anything! I know the disc works because I installed from it the night before.
