Mac OS X Utilities Lion installation problem

[tuco888]

Hi there

I am stucked with my old MacBook (5.2), I've tried nearly everything but couldn't succeeded to install a new OS Lion. Lastly I tried to install from web but it halted and give me the logs below:

Class IFJS_Context is implemented in both /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Frameworks/DistributionKit.framework/Versions/A/DistributionKit and /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Versions/A/Install. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
Class IFJS_Cache is implemented in both /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Frameworks/DistributionKit.framework/Versions/A/DistributionKit and /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Versions/A/Install. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
Class PKRequiredCLDevice is implemented in both /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Frameworks/DistributionKit.framework/Versions/A/DistributionKit and /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Versions/A/Install. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
Class PKRequiredGLRenderer is implemented in both /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Frameworks/DistributionKit.framework/Versions/A/DistributionKit and /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Versions/A/Install. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
Class PKGraphicsHardwareRequirements is implemented in both /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Frameworks/DistributionKit.framework/Versions/A/DistributionKit and /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Versions/A/Install. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

Before that I tried to boot from USB and DVD in several ways, and I beleive I did it properly but I never saw volumes or disks in startup manager except than "Recovery HD" disk. Also my harddrive(SSD) is quite new and I don't expect a hardware failure. Any help will be appreciated.

Do you get any error message from the installer? You might have to reset the date to 2011 for the installer to run due to an expired certificate.

The message is common one, “An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again”.
And yes I changed the date but it still fails.

Do you have a bootable external installer for Lion
Or, are you trying to install from the downloaded installer app?

At this moment my Mac only boots in recovery mode so I couldn't have a bootable installer. I downloaded the installer but couldn't extract the app.

Do you have another Mac, or do you know anyone who has an older Mac (older, meaning one that can boot with, maybe, El Capitan (OS X 10.11) or older?

But, you can boot to your recovery partition, so that's worth trying, too....
You could go into the Disk Utility when booted to the recovery system, then erase the drive (which would be the partition with the named hard drive, such as Macintosh HD (or some other name if you have changed that)
And, then try the Reinstall OS X from the menu screen. I don't know if you have been using WiFi, or a wired (ethernet) connect for your internet, but I would suggest that you only work with ethernet (a wired connection), and not wifi.

You do know that you are not limited to Lion, correct? Your MacBook5,2 is compatible with up to OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) - but with your recovery system, you can only reinstall whatever is installed at the moment, which is what the Recovery system will offer you for a downloaded system install.
