Mac OS recovery problem. Need help

Hello toevery one.
I have defective SATA cable to HD bay now. And also new clean SDD Samsung 840 Pro 240 GB (without data or any OS on it) installed in HD bay
I've ordered a new cable, but I'd like to use the SSD untill then, if it was possible so I decided to change my HDD (that on working properly SATA cable) and SDD (that on defective SATA cable) in places and restore Mac OS via external HDD with Time Machine image on faster SSD. So now my new SSD on the optical drive bay with working properly SATA cable and HDD on HD bay with defective SATA cable.
And I faced a problem...
1. I've made configuration of SSD and erased the contents of the SSD and formated it as "Mac O S Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition.
2. I chose the most fresh Image on my HDD that has been prepared in advance and started to wait.
3. The recovery of the system froze on 0,5% and estimated time started to rapidly increase. I've cancelled it when estimated time of full recovery was about 24 hours. System hanged and I turned it off by pressing POWER button.
4. I repeated all the operations again.
5. The recovery froze on 3,8% and estimated time started to grow up again.
6. I've took a look on log file and saw that some host can't be reached or found.
Do you know what is the problem?
Thank you!

Corrections:
1. SDD Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB
2. Mac OS Lion

    It appears the 15" 2.2 ghz isn't worth spending $400 more for, but you get the 1GB Radeon 6750M that has four times the VRAM than the 15" 2.0Ghz model and about 167% more performance. High settings on all current games with over 50 fps.
    If your not into 3D gaming or just light weight, then the 2.0 Ghz (last years performance) will suffice on low-medium settings at about 30 fps.
    The 13" is rather poor as it has integrated graphics. 30 fps on only some games.
    The high res screen is a excellent choice and the anti-glare is great for viewing just about anywhere.
    No messy films to replace at $30-$40 a pop.
    A lot of people bring the glossy screens back once they hear about the anti-glare.

    Here's my 17"
    In my opinion the extra $400 for another 2-3 years of use out of the computer is worth it.
    Quad cores are more than enough for most uses for most people for many years, it's just a slow card is going to make the machine feel slow in rendering graphics in the future.

  • I have a mac 10.5 and need help figuring out how to change my email settings so it does not automatically delete my inbox every 30 days.  How to I adjust the mail settings?

    I have a mac 10.5 and need help figuring out how to change my email settings so it does not automatically delete my inbox every 30 days.  How to I adjust the mail settings?

    I think it must be an IMAP account then, & in Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Advanced>Keep copies for Offline viewing:>Don't keep copies, then on the Server, or maybe it's just this one itself, but on the Server you have a setting to remove eMails after 30 days.
    If it's a POP account we'd have to investigate that... but you didn't say so I'm guessing here.

  • Zen Micro problem need help

    Today i was listening to music and my zen micro just froze while playing and no buttons could be pressed and the lock button wasnt on. So i took the battery out and rebooted the player but it froze at the creative screen. I went home and i went to recovery mode and tried to reload the firmware but it said erasing firmware for more than 2 hours. So then i tried a format but it said formating for the same amount of time. I need help please. Also, recently i've had problems witht the headphone jack. When ever i would stick it in it would sound distorted and i would have to move it around until i got it to a certain spot to hear it good again. If anyone else has this problem please tell me. One more thing i had returned my other micro zen in for hard dri've probems and this was my new one do u think if i have to return in (hopefully not) that they would accept it.

    If the functions in Rescue Mode aren't working properly then you need to contact Creative Support.

    You know its kinda rude to derail XBenzinoFla thread with your own problems, make your own thread next time.
    But to the both of you especially XBenzinoFla, try putting your ZVM in rescue mode and run scan disk to see if it hel

  • Still stuck with the same old producer consumer weight problem need help

    Hello All,
    This is the problem I am stuck with right now.
    I have two array lists one producer array list and one consumer array list denoted by a and b
    P1 P2 P3 P4 P5
    5 6 7 8 9
    C1 C2 C3 C4 C5
    2 3 4 5 6
    Now we find all those producer consumer pairs which satisfy the criteria Pi>=Ci
    We have the following sets
    (5,2)(6,2)(7,2),(8,2),(9,2)
    (5,3)(6,3)(7,3),(8,3),(9,3)
    (5,4)(6,4)(7,4),(8,4),(9,4)
    (5,5)(6,5)(7,5),(8,5),(9,5)
    (6,6)(7,6)(8,6),(9,6)
    Let us done each of them with Si
    so we have S1,S2,S3,S4,S5
    we assign a third parameter called weight to each element in Si which has satisfied the condition Pi>=Ci;
    so we we will have
    (5,2,ai),(6,2,bi),(7,2,ci)....etc for S1
    similarly for S2 and so on.
    We need to find in each set Si the the pair which has the smallest weight.
    if we have (5,2,3) and (6,2,4) then 5,2,3 should be chosen.We should make sure that there is only one pair in every set which is finally chosen on the basis of weight.
    Suppose we get a pair (5,2,3) in S1 and (5,2,3) in S2 we should see that (5,2,3) is not used to compare to compare with any other elements in the same set S2,
    Finally we should arrive at the best element pair in each set.They should be non repeating in other sets.
    Given a problem
    P0 P1 P2 P3 P4
    9 5 2 2 8
    6 5 4 5 3
    C0 C1 C2 C3 C4
    we have So as (P0,C0) and (P4,C0)
    assuming that the one with the smaller index has lesser weight PO is selected.In the program I have used random weights.from set S1 we select the pair PO,CO
    S1 =(P0,C1),(P1,C1) and (P4,C1)
    since P0 and P4 are already used in previous set we dont use them for checking in S1 so we have (P1,C1) as best.
    S2=(P0,C2),(P1,C2) and (P4,C2) so we dont use P0,C2 and P1 and C2 because PO and P1 are already used in S1.
    So we choose P4,C2
    in S3 and S4 ae have (P0,C3),(P1,C3),(P4,C3) so we dont choose anything
    and same in S4 also.
    So answer is
    (P0,C0),(P1,C1) and (P4,C2).
    My program is trying to assign weights and I am trying to print the weights along with the sets.It doesnt work fine.I need help to write this program to do this.
    Thanks.
    Regards.

    In your example you selected the pair with the greatest
    distance from the first set, and the pair with the least
    distance from the second. I don't see how the distance
    function was used.
    Also it's not clear to me that there is always a solution,
    and, if there is, whether consistently choosing the
    furthest or the closest pairs will always work.
    The most obvious approach is to systematically try
    all possibilities until the answer is reached, or there
    are no possibilities left. This means backtracking whenever
    a point is reached where you cannot continue. In this case
    backtrack one step and try another possibility at this
    step. After all possible choices of the previous step,
    backtrack one more step and so on.
    This seems rather involved, and it probably is.
    Interestingly, if you know Prolog, it is ridiculously
    easy because Prolog does all the backtracking for you.
    In Java, you can implement the algorithm in much the same
    way as Prolog implementations do it--keep a list of all the
    choice points and work through them until success or there
    are none left.
    If you do know Prolog, you could generate lots of random
    problems and see if there is always a solution.

  • Bought Used Mac Mini...need help to change email for updates

    Purchased an used Mac Mini and I want to change my defaults to my name and get rid of the sellers name, I also need help in changing the email default for getting my updates from Apple.  That's the most important to me... I've got 5 updates waiting and the message I receive is to get my updates from the sellers email address.  Thanks!!!

    What OS is on your Mini? What year/model is the Mini? The seller should have reinstalled the OS that came with the Mini instead of just selling it to you as is.
    Once you determine the OS, you can erase your Mini's Macintosh HD and reinstall the OS which will allow you to setup your own account during the Setup process.

    Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
    Codes:      KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0xe8240489
    There is actually a lot more to it but i was just trying to search based on this criteria above.  Anyone help?  im not the most computer literate, but i have tried simple things like clearing the cache, emptying old bookmarks etc that take up room.  any other suggestions? I have safaro version 4.1.3 if that helps

    here is the rest of the crash.  i still didnt trash anything bc i wasnt sure how/why that would be able to fix it? is this bad??  it happened when i was just on a regular internet browser (ESPN, MSNBC, etc)

  • Another Infinite Login Loop Problem - need help badly

    Hello. I need help.
    When I start up my iMac (24 inch last generation model) I can't log into the OS. When I enter my password I see the default OS wallpaper (nothing else) then it kicks me to a blue screen then right back to the login. Same thing over and over. I've already ran disk utility off of the install CD to repair permissions, etc... but no luck. This even happens when I enter into safe mode. I'm running the latest version of the OS.
    Can anyone help me?

    Restore the bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup. Without one, you have a difficult situation. First thing to try is boot with your install disc, run Disk Utility, and repair the disk.

  • Urgent Problem, need help asap.

    Hello everyone,
    I'm sorry for the alarmist title, but I need help and I need it badly. Just last night, my macbook froze with nothing working. The mouse froze, the interrupt keys didn't work, nothing. I shut down the laptop, and tried to restart. I noticed a clicking sound coming from the lower left hand corner of the macbook. I'm assuming this is the hard drive.
    What happens is that there will be two clicks happening in a rythmic fashion, and after 15 second of booting up, a folder will appear with a question mark on the screen. The only thing I can do is power it down. Can someone please describe what is happening and make suggestions?
    The kicker is that I'm a college student studying in Denmark for the semester. The laptop is my only lifeline to back home. Please, any help is greatly appreciated.
    Matt

    You may have a disk failure or simply corrupted files. If you have a bootable backup that is working, then you can boot from it, erase your hard drive, then restore your backup. If not then do this:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    If the drive is OK then you can reinstall OS X:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
