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.
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.

  • Can't watch video and play games that require flash player

    I'm using windows7 family premium version
    internet explorer 10 last version 10.0.5
    exploitation system 64 bytes
    flash player verson 11..700.202 the latest one
    So as i say can't watch video and play games that require flash player, they keep asking me to install flashplayer... i did everything i read in the forums, unistall it, clean the memory, reinstall it, disabe active x etc... but still have the problem.
    More specific about my problem is that: let's say that i'm trying to look at you tutorial video under thi forum  Re: How do I fix Windows permission problems with Flash Player? i'm just seeing a black screen.  So I'm able to guess where is the play button so when i push on that place, i can hear the sound of that video.  Second step guessing where is the  enlarge  button, and when the screen is enlarged, magic i can see and hear the video.... So you figure that it's impossible to use my computer like that and guess right all the time, so....
    Second fact, it seems that bug happened after an update (windows or explorer) and i even talk with a microsott tech who was not able to resolve it... But if i'm  undoning  the update and go back to a prior image, i have no problems with flash player anymore... it' been moths that i'm delaying my updates cause i cannot find any solutions.... So Please please please, help me .... don't know what's the problem is and i'm not a pro, don't know what to do.  (Excuse my english it's my second language)
    Thank you

    The first thing I'd try is updating your video driver.
    Windows: how do I update the device driver for my video/display adapter?
    If you still have problems and since you're using Windows 7 x64, please check to see if you have the following Windows update installed:
    KB2670838 – Platform Update for Windows 7 x64
    If so, please uninstall it and try Flash Player out again.

  • As apple does not support Adobe flash how do I watch youtube other  videos and play games?

    As apple does not support Adobe flash how do I watch youtube other  videos and play games?

    There is a YouTube built-in app for watching those videos. If you can't find the app (it can't be deleted), then check that it's not hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > YouTube.
    For videos on other sites then you might find that some of them (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites. If you want to play flash games then you are probably out of luck if you want to play on-line though the iSwifter app might work on some of them, but again some flash games have app versions in the store.

  • Video problems with games

    hello,
    i'm having problems playing serious sam and return to castle wolfenstein.
    i'm using k7n420, onboard video, 1.13 drivers, 17 inch princeton monitor, windows setting is at 1024 x 768, 32 bit.
    i first experinced this on serious sam, game video setting is at 800x600, color depth is windows default so i assume 32 bit.  when playing at this resolution, the screen wont fit my monitor, its stretched, a little bent, changed to 1024x768 and 640 x 480, and its okay, but 640x480 is too low, and 1024x768 is just too slow for me, slows down my system.  but it wasnt like this before, so i uninstalled the game then reinstalled it, then its okay, after a few days, it went back.
    now, wolfenstein also acts like that...
    thanks,
    edison

    thanks,

    Ive got an option for you. Try changing the refresh rate for the monitor at 800*600. Some monitors are kinda funky and will actually alter the screen appearance with varying refresh rates.

  • Is anyone having problems playing games on their 4th gen nano?

    Honestly, what a joke. I download the game Phase, only after being instructed at the top of the page that it will work fine with my 4th gen ipod. I pay for it and load it on, and the screen is a quarter chopped off. It's moved so far to the right of screen that I can't play it properly.
    Anyone had the same issue? Anyone know how to fix it?

    Afraid not...plays smooth as butter on my 16 GB nano. Admittedly the controls feel weird having the click wheel on the left/right of the screen instead of below...but its a minor quibble.
    You might have an actual problem with your nano. Tried any other games? If they work fine (not the ones that come with the nano, other Click-wheel games from the Store), then you might want to either a) Try removing Phase, syncing, disconnecting, reconnecting and putting Phase back on the iPod, or b) Ask Apple to let you redownload Phase.
    Or c) Return the nano for another one. But of course, thats always the last resort if its just a software problem...

  • How 2get video to play (now) on smartphones like Droid, other than on YouTube?

    I understand Flash will be ready for the Droid in mid year... and maybe some other smart phones.
    BUT... till then... other than using YouTube... is there anyway to get web video to play on the Droid or other smart phones?
    Thanks for any help.

    1. Correct, Flash will be available on pretty much ALL smartphones (sans iPhone ocourse) in mid-year.
    For now, you can try to get onto the beta list for the flashPlayer (its a free download on Adobe labs for the desktop, but I don't know if it will go to Droid or not), or limit yourself to people who are publishing video using HTML5

  • MBP shuts down when watching videos or playing games..

    The infamous first post - I know.
    So I've been having this problem with my Macbook Pro that I received from my college for my Advertising program. When I am watching videos or even playing simple online games, after awhile the screen darkens from top to bottom and then the multi-language message comes up and tells me to restart my computer.
    I decided to post this here to find out if this is a common problem, or if I should seek some kind of support help. I'm a little weary of IT here at my college because one of my professors informed my class that they are a bit reimage-crazy.
    Anyways, I would really appreciate anyone's input..
    Thanks guys.

    Welcome to the Forums!
    This is called a kernel panic.

  • Audio problems playing games on Pavilion g6

    Product name is G6-2295SA
    Windows 8
    Basically whenever I play certain games it doesnt play sound. But I can listen to iTunes at the same time as playing the game and it will play iTunes music but not the game.
    It doesnt seem to like certain games, NBA 2k14 plays well, but with no sound, also so does PES 2014 with no sound.
    I thought it was with all games but The Wolf Among Us works well, with sound so its just certain games.
    I just want some help. 
    Thanks.

    Hi erenmus. If the sounds works in Windows and iTunes it seems like the sound is functioning properly.
    If certain games aren't producing sound, it would be an issue specific to each game. NBA 2k14 seems to have a patch released recently. PES 2014 seems to have a patch or 2 available as well.
    Also check the sound settings from within the game itself.
    Have you tried the game with HDMI out, or just on the notebook screen? Are you using headphones or notebook speakers?
    Also make sure your audio drivers are updated here:

  • Problems playing games

    Hello all,
    When I play Doom 3 with my FX5700-VT2DR256, P4 3.0E with 1GB RAM and Samsung 753DFX (1024X768 / 85Hz), the initially games's movie begins normally but when the control of the game will handle to myself my computer blinks and then locks. It seems that it entered in a stand-by mode.
    I only return to Windows XP turning the computer off and turning it on again.
    What parameters have I set to play this and other games normally.
    Thanks any help.
    ps: The Need for Speed Underground have the same problem, but I can play a little before the problem comes, but the problem appears in different parts of the game, but it's the same problem of the doom game.

    Dears,
    After you tip I decided to buy another case with 600W of power and two openings, one lateral that direct air in the processor and another superior that serves as exhaust fan, beyond coolers and normal fans of the case and an exhaust fan under of the processor installed before my AGP board, the result was an internal ambient temperature of 26ºC (the Intel recommends maximum 38ºC), but exactly thus, making a simple test in the Word, as typing of a word in looping, the processor arrived 71ºC.
    First I got that these line of Intel processors work in a high temperature, the processor that I got have to get the maximum of 69ºC. After I searched in the Intel problems with the processor that I have, and I got an interesting link that tells which motherboard is compatible with its processors.  I got in this link that my motherboard, despite the motherboard manufacturer saying that it is compatible, is not homologated by the Intel. The link is:
    http://indigo.intel.com/mbsg/default.aspx
    I am waiting to arrive a motherboard of the MSI (MSI 875P Neo-FISR - PCB 2.0) that is homologated by Intel to restart the tests.
    When I get a normal temperature of the processor I reply you.
    Thanks all.

  • Will intel hd 3000 enough for watching hd videos and play games on medium settings?

    I am planning to buy a macbook pro 13" with i7 2.7ghz and 8gb of ram. Will it be ok for intel hd3000 to run hd videos and games in low settings?

    Some 3D games won't run at all, some will but severely disabled.
    Any that do manage to run won't for long as updates and new games come out requiring the more powerful cards. You'll be sorry buying that machine for gaming when Lion rolls out.
    If you want a future proof 3D gaming laptop, you got to go the 2.2 Ghz 15" and higher with the 1GB Radeon 6750M. 3x faster than the HD 3000.
    Seriously.
    And if you really want a powerful 3D gaming machine with the most choice of games and hardware upgrades, then your going to go with a Windows tower as your going to be upgrading the video card about once a year, overclocking and doing all sorts of other tricks.
    See the HD 3000 score on this page, it's about a 11. Pitiful.

    I guess you could go the MacPro > bootcamp route, but that's not very cost effective for a gaming box.

  • Problem playing game since last update

    Right after the last software update from Apple, I stopped being able to open Myst V. The game won't start at all. It took a long time to get the game installed on an intel Mac in the first place, because the Ubisoft patch has a bug and the directions for fixing it by hand were not easy to find. So I'm frustrated that now it stopped working again! I tried reinstalling the game (with the repaired patch), with no luck. Is anyone else having this problem? Any tips?

    For starters, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
    Then Repair Permissions.

    Hi,
    With some apps (lego Harry potter 1-4 years), after a while, the screen becomes totally black. I can hear only the sound of the game. The only thing I was able to do is to remove it and reload it with loosing all the previous levels alreday reached which is disappointing.
    Thanks for help.

  • I'm Having Problems Playing a Burnt DVD on my other DVD Player

    Ok, si I have DVD studio Pro 4. I have burnt a DVD of a video obviosuly. it plays perfectly fine on my Mac, but it will not play on any of my DVD players. I'm not sure where or not it has to do with Closing the disc, and I'm not sure how to that either.
    I'm kind of new to this whole Mac thing. I'm also not sure whether or not my DVD players will play a DVd I burn with DVD Studios Pro.
    So if anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated.

    Hi:
    Wellcome to the forum!
    You must post some details of your worflow to let us know what could be wrong, i.e.:
    - Footage format
    - Encoding workflow
    - Burning workflow
    By a chance, did you created a HD DVD? DVD players for sure will not play that format.
    Come back with some info and you'll get help here for sure!
