I want to also chime in that RAM was the issue for me. I did a clean install of El Capitan; the install would constantly restart around 7 minutes left, then eventually gave me the "Essentials.pkg" error. I removed three 4GB sticks of ram, leaving only one 4GB stick in and was able to install...

This happened to me several times as well. I eventually just proceeded as if it completed the installation, and voila! it worked! Redo your USB or just treat it like it completed the install and see if that works for you.

Thanks for your reply. I previously just "stopped" the disc in the app/program without closing it completely. I tried closing it and was able to eject the disc now. All seems to be working now; I will let my computer sleep to test sleep/wake, hopefully it won't remain problematic since others...

Thanks for your quick reply. I was watching a BD movie and after the movie ended, I tried to eject the disc, but the drive wouldn't eject. Selecting eject from the menu bar doesn't eject it either. Previously, if my computer went to sleep and I wake it, the drive would stop responding (even...

I received this drive as a holiday gift and installed it into my Hack. I've been having sleep/wake issues with it, even while it is playing discs (which I thought wouldn't put it to sleep since it's running). I've disabled putting hard disks to sleep and still have this issue. Any thoughts on...

I had the same YouTube issue and downloaded the new kext. I used Kext Utility (KextBeast reported by forum members as not working), just drag the new kext in and it should do the work for you. Now YouTube is working great for me; haven't tried multi apps (FaceTime, Skype, YouTube (Chrome)) yet...

Thanks for the input, this really helps me in deciding my build.

I'm planning on using the same board also and have a question about the SSD/HDD capability. Are you running both Mac OS X and Windows on the same Crucial M4? I'm debating whether to go with separate SSDs and HHDs for each OS, with a total of 4 hard drives (too many?) - do know if this board...

I'm also looking at using the HD6870, and what I've come across is that it works OOB (and as stated by jester969). I'm not sure about 3 monitors though (since I'm only planning on 2, and have only searched for info regarding 2). There's this active/passive port concept that enables video to...

OOB = Out Of Box ;)

I'm gathering info for my first build also, and I remember reading that Lion is an update to Snow Leopard, so you have to install Snow Leopard first in order to even get to Lion (correct me if I'm wrong). Perhaps run Snow Leopard and see how your build is working, then upgrade to Lion. Looking...
