Any problem installing OS Mavericks

"OS X could not be installed on your computer

The OS X upgrade couldn't be started because the disk Macintosh HD is damaged and can't be repaired. After your computer restarts, back up your data, erase your disk, and try installing again.

Click Restart to restart your computer and try installing again."

I have installed the version 10.6.8 and I have problems in the download, the download is stopped by 5%, check the internet connection and has no problems.

Yes. When I get to the select disk page it says that the HD is a time machine drive. Any help would be nice.

First it tells me that my HD is a time machine drive, and when I go back and try again, it tells me that it can't be installed on my HD but doesn't offer any reason or solution.

I currently can't even download it. I click on "install app" and nothing happens. I've been having this issue all day. What should I do?

I can't seem to use most of the Apple apps. I click on the icon and all it does is bounce twice and stop.

I have 14.x gb of free space. Did the upgrade. When it migrated from Time Machine, it said there was not enough free space, and preceeded to erase all of my Time Machine Back-ups. Now, I only have the files from iCloud, but in my 250 gb hard drive, it says I only have free 15 gb. So apparently it copies something from my Time Machine with out the whole file.

Is there anyway I can reinstall OS X? and just accept the "crash"?

Can't seem to get any of my Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 applications to launch - Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, etc. None of the do anything when I try to open the apps from the icon or with the Open command.

Everything else seems to work just fine outside of the Adobe stuff. Not sure if it's my own machine or an Adobe issue yet.

That looks like a solution. My installation was stuck at “OS X Mavericks downloaded“ in the app store. There was a prompt requiring the input of administrator’s password. After that, it simply did not begin installing. Even after restarting the computer, no installation took place. I wonder if there is a method to manually start the installation process. I will go back home and take a look at the applications folder.

My CS5.5 apps all launch ok on Mavericks, but I had to install a Java application update for it to work (and had to do it twice).

Give it a restart, install the Java updates it asks you to and then you should be ok.

My iMac 24" downloaded fine, installed ok until the end when "Less than a minute remaining..." appeared and has been on screen 35 minutes & counting!

I know I eventually have to shut down & restart but I don't know what's likely to happen next?

Thanks Ryan!

You nailed it. I spent about an hour on hold for Adobe customer support before getting your post. That was exactly it. Strange though, I had rebooted and searched Software Updates a few times without finding it, then it showed up as a window alert behind other applications.

Regardless, thanks for the help.

Mavericks finally started just 5 minutes after posting my first message.

Patience is needed !!

Downloadind fine, appeared to install just fine.

On reboot into Mavericks, it sits "forever" at the apple gray startup screen with a spinning beachball.

I went to the recovery disk, and re-tan the installer, which downloaded again, installed again... all looks good.

On reboot, it sits forever on the apple startup screen with a spinning beachball for the cursor.

I've gone back to the recovery disk and ran disk utility and repair... no problems. repaired permissions, and still get the spinning beachball.

Do I have a corrupted download (twice?) or is something wrong?

Help!

Worked perfectly! Thanks Curt!
