Install Snow Leopard Retail: Checking the Installation failed

Hi all!

I currently own a MacBook (mid-to-late 2010) with the identifier MacBook7, 1 and I want to reinstall 10.6 after a few questions. I got my retail disk, and it says that it cannot be installed on my computer. I check the logs and it says the following (not all that, only the errors, sorry)

21-24 June at 20:18:03 localhost OSInstaller [140]: controls Installation failed.

22-24 June at 20:18:03 localhost OSInstaller [140]: verification of the Installation failure:

What puzzles me is that the reason is empty! Any help would be appreciated!

(BTW, I tried to do a format, disc check and repair and all the "solutions" and none of them worked.)

Sometimes the retail drives do not work if they are the same major version than the original installation disc provided with a computer. I just checked, but as the best I could with the information that you provide and it seems that your computer was shipped with 10.6.3 and this is the same version as the retail drives.  Yet, I wonder if there is a specific build characteristic which is absent in the commercial version.  Contact Apple support to get a replacement original disk.

    External DVD USB drives are cheap. Usually $20 for a good quality player. Just buy one of these at Best Buy or another store and use it to install Snow Leopard. Then you also have a drive for something else that you have on the disk.

    Try using the wizard adding printer in the Control Panel, printers. In the wizard, select EPSON under manufacturer. If you don't see your printer in the list, click the Windows Update button. It will take several minutes (about 20) be patient, Windows updates the list. You should see a hard drive activity during the update.

  • Re-install Snow Leopard to a notice of Imac I3 mid-2010?

    Hello

    I have already received some good answers in another thread, but it had a different title, so I thought that I post here and maybe some members will more experience with this:

    I just bought a used Imac which is currently being shipped to me.  Here are the specs: mid-2010 21.5 inches screen, model A1311, series: W8114294DAS, Intel Core I3 3.06 ghz processor.

    He will come running to El Capitan, but they advised me to wipe the drive and reinstall the original operating system, which is the snow leopard, and then upgrade from there to El Capitan, with my own Apple ID. However, it seems to be difficult with this particular model. If the computer is initially supplied with Snow Leopard 10.6.4. My drive of detail might not work for the re - install.  I was told that Apple would be able to ship me a custom. I've also read about yet another thread that maybe these models came with a slightly different version of Snow Leopard, and this is why the retail CD may not work, even if the computer came with version 10.6.3. and it would be better to get a custom. Is this true?

    Then there may be a problem with an update of the firmware that the computer may or may not have and which could cause problems (not allow Snow Leopard install at all, or instead to install Lion). Is it possible to say if he had this update and maybe disable it before attempting to erase and install Snow Leopard?

    Does anyone have advice/stories to share before I actually try it? Or what would be the best way to go about this? I thought that I would try my SL CD detail first, and I hope that it will work. Otherwise, I could order the CD on measure and try this one. If I can't erase, at least I didn't damage, but what happens if I erase the disc, but then failed to install Snow Leopard? I was left with a blank computer. Or I would be able to install it once the disc has been erased?

    Someone also said using SuperDuper may erase the disc elsewhere or at least to make a back-up? I have not used before. There is no personal information on the computer again, I would try to re - install before anything else, so I just need a way to install El Capitan under my Apple ID, then I'll be able to install updates, or even a new operating system, as it becomes available.

    Is there a risk to try to use my SL CD detail if it allows me to erase and install (such as the installation of the 'wrong' version of Snow Leopard)?

    Here is the link to the original thread: purchases used Imac tips?

    Thanks for any idea!

    You can try this much easier.

    1 - Connect to App store with your apple ID.

    2 - install download 10.11 - he will say that you have already installed just 10.11 to proceed.

    3. create a usb installation program.

    4 - start the installer - erase hard drive and install a clean copy of 10.11

    5. place the iMac with your apple ID.

  • MacBook (13-inch aluminum, Late 2008) cannot install snow leopard

    So I'll try to fix computer for my mother, it's a MacBook (13-inch aluminum, Late 2008).  He was running very slowly so I did a factory of resets and tried to install a copy of snow leopard on it.  When I try to install it on my hard drive it says "Mac OS X does not have this disc."  The symbol for the hard drive has a yellow! sign on it (if it matters).

    (1) my question is what can I do to install the OS on this?

    Mavericks - OS would not install, I tried this right after the factory restore.

    -Unfortunately I can't eject the disc either-

    (2) that it has to do with my drive hard and how can I test that?

    Whence it the Snow Leopard disc? You must use a copy of Snow Leopard retail. You can buy Snow Leopard at the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (US). The price is $ 19.99 plus tax. You will receive a physical media by mail after placing your order.

    Snow Leopard erase and install

    1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
    2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
    3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears, wait for loading to complete.
    4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of partitions of one (1) in the menu dropdown. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
    5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
    6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
    7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
    8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.

    • .. then nothing.  He's here.  After 10 minutes, I pull the plug and restart the Windows partition and return to the slaughter of these discussion forums for clues.

    Issues related to the:

    1. How do I FORMAT and INSTALL Snow Leopard on the Mac Mini or m, I was too impatient after the [Ctrl] restart using the OS X DVD? 
    2. Is there an external utility that I should get to format the drive?
    3. I can do this in steps - can I install OS X on an external HD and then use it for the crater / rebuild the primary drive?

    Input greatly appreciated!

    usually it is booting by pressing the C key to start from the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive.

    or start by pressing the Option key to get a list of the bootable devices that you can choose from.

    See <Startup for Mac - Apple Support combinations>

    NOTE: This does not imply that you run your Mac mini Snow Leopard.  I guess that your wording she used to run Snow Leopard, and that your Mac mini still has a DVD/CD player are good signs.

  • Can I install Snow Leopard on a Mac Mini 2008

    Hello.

    I have a Mac Mini 2008 with the info printed on the envelope:

    Mini Mac 2.53/2X2G/320/SDI/AP/BT

    Model no. A1283 2008

    I tried to install Snow Leopard using the gray installation disc supplied with my Macbook Pro.

    It didn't work, probably because the drive is linked to my MBP (I guess).

    So now I think ordering setup of Snow Leopard on the Apple store instead:
    http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/Mac-OS-x-106-Snow-Leopard

    But I'm not 100% sure if the previous failure, I had was really just because of the gray drive or the Mac Mini 2008 does not support Snow Leopard.

    Hope someone can give me the answer, so I'm not an unnecessary purchase.

    Thank you!

    This is because the gray disc is specific to your model of MacBook Pro. Any Mac that has an Intel processor, at least 1 GB of RAM and running 10.4 or 10.5 can run 10.6.
