Cannot install macOS imed

Been to the App store, saw macOS Sierra, clicked on "Download", but get an error message "we could not complete your purchase that this version of macOS 10.12 cannot be installed on this computer.

I have one using macOS El Capitan 10.11.6 at the moment, and there is no update that is available to me.

Why I can't go to Sierra?

  • Downloaded the new MacOS Sierra, but cannot install it

    Hello!

    The morning I downloaded the new OS Sierra from AppStore. The download is complete, I started to install. Amidst this, a message appeared and he said I don't have enough hard disk space. Well, fortunately I managed to start the previous operating system and everything works normally.

    The problem is the following- I always update the operating system more recent. I open AppStore, OS Sierra search and it says downloaded. But I can not start the installation process in any case .

    In the finder, I noticed that there are new 'macOS Install Data' folder under Macintosh HD. Should I delete this, so I can re-download from AppStore new OS and then install? Or how can I start the installation again process?

    Thank you!

    Look in your Applications folder for "Install macOS Sierra." This is where the installer is placed when it is downloaded. It is normally deleted once the update is complete, but may still be there.

    I would also say that you look through the problems on this forum other users have experienced so you can decide if you want to join them.

    Alas, my crystal ball is in the shop for cleaning, so you will need to provide more details on what "doesn't work" and above all error messages. First of all, let's start the App Store. Provide as much information as possible for those of us who do not sit on your shoulder.

  • Impossible to install MacOS Sierra

    Hey, I tried to clean install macOS Sierra. I downloaded the file from the app store, created a bootable USB key. Then I erased my drive hard and then tried to start. However I'm unable to install it. Sometimes with a sign even before X that I get to the installation option.

    Then I tried to restore from the internet, and which also failed.

    I have a Macbook Pro mid-2012 which came with the mountain lion.

    Please suggest what to do.

    When you try Internet recovery, what part "fails".

    You have a backup?

  • Install macOS that Sierra is trying to add a new support tool

    When you try to install macOS Sierra I get a popup asking for my password that says "install macOS that Sierra is trying to add a new support tool". I have never had this with the previous updates and research of these discussions and more generally on Google pulls a vacuum. Is it safe to put my admin password in and proceed with the installation?

    I can tell that you have no option to move forward.

    Is it safe? We can only assume, if you trust the big Apple.

  • Cannot install iOS 10.0.1 with Apple Configurator 1.7.2

    Hello

    I have 60 iPads in 5 carts (12 per basket) that I need to install some applications on. They are already configured and supervised with Apple Configurator 1.7.2. I've never had problems in the past with AC1, I've always been able to install the updates and applications easily with very few questions, because of that I've never felt the need to update to AC2. However, this time during the update of ios and refreshment, I get the error 'complete with an error - cannot install iOS' 10.0.1 And now 12 of my iPads are stuck in recovery mode.

    I tried before wipe them off and re supervise them, but I always get the cannot install iOS 10.0.1 error, followed by all the iPads stuck in restore mode. I tried to update only 1 or 2 at a time. I tried the update/supervise them with no apps queued for installation. I tried to restore the iPad via iTunes, which works, but when I try to put it back on AC1, I still get the same error mode and recovery.

    I tried searching online for compatibility with the new iOS and AC 1 problems but found nothing.

    I would like to know if there is more information I should provide that might help.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hi Ben

    Makes your iPad successfully update to IOS 10, we have approximately 400 ipads, I've updated a single ipad at 10 IOS using our MacBook pro AC1 OSX El Capitan to test, ill try another now and see if its success.

    When you connect an ipad update the Configurator re-download the IOS 10 or use a cached copy?

    How your Configurator is connected to the internet (behind Proxy, Wifi, Ethernet), perhaps the downloaded IPSW file is corrupted and need to be redownloaded removed\.

    Kind regards

  • directions to clean install MacOS Sierra

    I'll install MacOS Sierra like many of you, but I won't update or upgrade, I want to do a 'Clean Install' on my iMac to the retina. There are several small, painful on ranging from the questions that no ONE at Apple was able to help with. I'm sped to start again and I hope after a month or two AFTER Sierra is released and immediate bugs will be crushed and then I can make the trip. Since Sierra is a new file system, I hope that everything will be good in the rim. This way my two hundred concerts (or almost) of music plays without hiccup and my huge photo library will play too nice!

    There are several "how to" out in WEB land, but honestly, each of them is a little confusing. I do not understand why Apple insists on not to put an accurate Concise Guide, step by step. My burlap as 1st Sergeant used to explain in the body when something needed to explain. We said, ' Let explain me it like Barney. Referring to Barney Fife. In other words, super easy. I was going to buy an eBook take control books Scholle McFarland. I wonder what any of you think of the great guru?

    Yes I use Time Machine. Yes, I have backed up Photos and iTunes separately. I'll do the same thing to my documents and email (not sure one).

    Appreciate some guidance.

    This isn't a bad guide... http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/01/clean-install-OS-x-El-Capitan-Mac/

    Just replace the name of 'El Capitan' with 'macOS Sierra.

    FWIW, the upgrade can not get rid of your "hard" problems, according to what they are.

  • Cannot install OS: "this identifier Apple has not yet been used.

    I just got my first Mac yesterday, a mid 2010 Macbook of opportunity. It's in great shape, works great, I was briefly very satisfied with my purchase. Then I tried to reformat/reinstall, as it does whenever purchasing a computer used.

    I followed the instructions here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204904 and when I got to the step three, after the failure of the hard drive, it wouldn't let me install the operating system. He wanted to connect first with my Apple ID, so I did an Apple ID, but now it keeps giving me an error "this identifier Apple has not yet been used in the App store" and then it gives me the opportunity to cancel or "review". Click Cancel simply cancels the installation, just by clicking on review also cancels the installation.

    An ID is not necessary, but there is no way I can see to avoid it say the instructions on this page. It was suggested that maybe I could avoid the connection on the way to recovery, rather than recovery of the Internet, but the Cmd + R and Cmd + Option + R give recovery of the Internet. I don't see any way to get to the regular recovery.

    I had a suggestion to install from the disc, but I have not all discs. If I could download it from somewhere and burn them then that would be nice, but the instructions on this page are pretty clearly that it should not be necessary to use disks. I should be able to do without signing in.

    So... what upward with who? Where should I go from here? Is it possible to do a regular recovery? Or bypass the Apple ID thing?

  • I cannot install extensions, they appear with "will be installed after you restart Firefox" even after that I restarted.

    Hello

    I cannot install extensions, they appear with "will be installed after you restart Firefox" even after that I restarted.

    The 'Intermediary' folder is present and rest after a restart, but the extensions do not get installed. They show in the extensions page with the message "will be installed after you restart Firefox" and remain like that, no matter how many times I restart.

    Any idea?

    Under Firefox 24.0 Windows 8.1

    Thank you very much
    BD

    P.S. Just tried to install the add-on "convenience store" before asking the question and I got an error saying that it cannot install because it cannot change the necessary file. (I did manually instead)

    I tried to delete the files extensions.* nothing works. However, I deleted the addons.sqlite file and restarted my computer (computer not only Firefox) and that seemed to do the trick. Problem solved.

    Thank you for your help, it is appreciated.

  • Satellite L655-145 cannot install the bluetooth stack

    Cannot install bluetooth stack. Just Setup freeze. All other drivers installed successfully. Device Manager only show Bluetooth ACPI device. This problem appeared after the update of the BIOS of the original version 1.80 to more older (1.80-1.90-2.10-2.20 > > >). Downgrade from 1.80 take no effect.

    PS. Sorry for my bad English.

    Hello

    As far as I know the laptop is equipped with WIFI and Bluetooth combo card!
    This means that Wlan and BT functionality is controlled by a single card.

    If you BIOS outsider (don t know why) Please put failing first.
    Save the changes and reboot the laptop.

    Then download the BT BT Toshiba stack.
    Activate BT (FN + F8), then launch the installation of battery BT once more.
