10.4.11 upgrade - bad to worse - catalog failure

I did an upgrade to 10.4.11 and my bluetooth keyboard and mouse would no longer connect on reboot. I spent an hour on the support line and their recommendation was to archive & re-install (10.3). That was OK, but now I cant upgrade to 10.4.x as it fails on install. When I try a disk verify or disk repair it comes back with a catalog failure that wont repair.
What can I do next?

Well...I do have backups of most of my data files. I am looking to install Leopard and wanted to ensure I had all the files I will need (including the ones I am not aware of) as I am planning on doing an erase and install (Which is exactly what your suggested solution is - so that's good).
For example, iPhoto and iTunes - if I copy the "music/iTunes" & the "pictures/iPhoto Library" folders does that hold all the files to succesfully transfer my library of songs and photos?
What about mail...for example?
I am looking for any important data files and config files, but don't know where they might be lurking,...only for me to discover after I have erased the disk. I tried doing a "new image" from disk utility, but I cant do what I though I could do. With corrupt files I am not sure an image copy is so wise anyway.
Do you know of a good source of information on what to backup?

  • Pictures not appearing in after upgrade to SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP7 Patch4

    Hello,
    Due to some issues in Advanced search we performed the service pack upgrade from SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP5 (with MDM 7.1.03.72) to SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP7 Patch4 ( MDM 7.1.04.146).  With this new SP, the Pictures are not appearing anymore under the Hyperlink section anwhere in Catalog browser( Compare, Context view, Item details). With earlier SP pictures were appearing perfectly.
    We have done like this:( refer earlier thread - Re: SRM MDM Catalog 3.0 Image display) thanks Sudhanshu, Jitesh and Mandeep for suggesting that solution!
    Using the hyperlink field
    type : rendered
    MIME type : image type i.e. .jpg
    URL : web URL
    We had gone for this option because we dont want to store impages in MDM, and this worked perfoectly until new SP upgrade.
    Any clues?
    Thanks
    Pravin

    Hi Bala,
    Nothing appears under the Hyperlink section in Catalog browser, though a valid link exists in Data Manager under Hyperlink  as type-Rendered, MIME type as JPG and a valid URL.
    I have searched Service Market place for this fix of this issue and found that SAP has improved the technology ( from Object Cache to Blob Cache) to display pictures/hyperlinks from SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP06 and MDM 7.1SP04 onwards. We were  on SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP05 and MDM 7.1 SP03 before Dev upgrade.
    Here are the notes for reference of others who get into same issue.
    Note 1450593 - Implementation of BlobCache
    This note states "MDM7.1 SP04 offers new image caching functionality called Blob Cache. The old functionality of Object Cache is replaced with the Blocb Cache mechanism in Catalog 3.0 SP06 P1"
    Note 1505796 - Images not showing in SRM-MDM catalog (error in BlobCache)
    This note talks about the issue in MDM API with Blob Cache. The Fix has been provided in SRM-MDM Catalog SP08 Patch 01.
    But upgrade is not something that happens on the drop of a hat, we dont want to do another upgrade,  I would like to know if there is a workaround.
    Thanks

  • How to upgrade a Lightroom 4 catalog to LR5?

    I have two separate Lightroom catalogs associated with my Mac laptop computer, both of which are stored on separate external hard drives.  One external hard drive catalog is operating on LR5 but the other external hard drive catalog is still operating on LR4.  The Lightroom 5 download went smoothly on the first LR catalog but I am unable to figure out how to apply the downloaded LR 5 onto the other LR4 catalog.  Can anyone explain how to upgrade the second LR4 catalog to LR5?
    Not sure if this is important to note but I purchased LR5 on my laptop.  In addition to my laptop LR5 is also now working on my desktop computer.  Both computers are Macs. Only two computers are associated with Lightroom. 

    Thank you, JimHess for your help.  That was deceptively easy.  I spent two hours trying to find someone at Adobe to help this newbie (me) with this but you answered my question very well.  Greatly appreciated.
    One more query, if you will.  Now that both my Lightroom catalogs have been upgraded to LR5, will I screw anything up if I delete the LR4 catalog?  I apologize for asking what may be such a dumb question but I don't want to lose valuable photos and memories.  Thanks again!

    I cannot log on to my Comcast e-mail from my IMac anymore.  This is a new issue, recently I had to delete cookies from my system in order so my email wasn’t frozen, but over the past few days it has went from bad to worse.  I am able to enter my login information, but it just goes right back to the home page.  Any suggestions…maybe I deleted something else in the process.

    OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
    Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences  - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

  • Upgrading Photoshop Elements 8 Catalog

    I just bought Li
    ghtroom 3 and am trying to upgrade my Photoshop Elements Catalog
    into Lightroom 3.  I have over 30,000 photos/videos in
    my Elements Catalog.
    I get a message that says "Lightroom encountered problems when trying to upgrade the Photoshop Elements Catalog and cannot complete the operation."
    I have already repaired and optimized the Elements catalog and reconnected or deleted all missing files.
    Any new ideas, Adobe knows less than me and I just bought this.
    Dan

    Check the read me file for LR 3.0 for supported files.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/845/cpsid_84570.html
    A notable exclusion from video files is AVCHD video. Unsupported files within your Elements catalog may cause problems.
    I have not done an upgrade of an Elements catalog so maybe some else could offer advice if unsupported files are creating a problem.

  • Azure Backup CATALOG FAILURE 0x80131500 on Windows 8.1 Pro

    I recently installed the new Azure Backup client on a Windows 8.1 Pro computer to test the service. Every backup that is run is resulting in hundreds of skipped files showing the same error: 
    CATALOG FAILURE 0x80131500 
    A random check of some of the files with this error revealed that some are backed up and available for restore whereas others do not appear to be available for restore. Further testing showed that the files that are available for restore can be restored. 

    Hi,
    The error "CATALOG FAILURE 0x80131500" was mentioned a lot in these several days.
    Personally I tested to perform a backup on a Windows 2012 R2 system with Agent version 2.0.8692.0 and it finished successfully. But we still reported this issue to product team and they are working on it now. If there is any update I will post back quickly.

  • "bad access kern protection failure"

    I have an application, "Robert & Collins french-english dictionary", which I work with everyday.
    Since updating with last version of that dictionary, it constantly crashes.
    The crash log signals : "bad access kern protection failure", then
    lines and lines of numbers…
    French support is absolutely unefficient, unwilling to do nothing. They put the
    blame on Apple, my Mac, my OS, you name it.
    I don't have any problem with any other application.
    So I highly suspect a lousy programming since that update.
    I tried everything : reinstall, install it on my PBook G4 17" (crashes
    also on this one).
    My Mac is well maintained an works fine (Socks, Mac Janitor, Cocktail +
    Drive Genius and defrag once a month).
    What's up ?

    Thanks abrody.
    All my documents, images, libraries, bookmarks, etc., and sensitive applications are backed up 2 or 3 times a month on 2 external drives.
    I use Socks (formerly System Optimizer) since 3 years and it's always been helpful with no inconvenience so far.
    It does clean cache. It has to be operated after quitting all applications.
    Regarding that particular dictionary, it's a real pain, because I'm convinced the problem is due to a bad programming : previous version was not faulty. But they'll never admit it…

  • Compaq F764CA & Windows 7 Upgrade = bad battery performanc​e

    Hi I was wondering if anyone else has come across this problem.  I upgraded my wife's laptop to Windows 7 Ultimate and while there were some drivers from Vista required to work things out, I have noticed that her laptop battery performance has gone from an average of 2hours with Vista to only 20 minutes under Win7.  There is even a little red cross on her battery system tray icon and hovering over it brings a message that I should install a new battery.  This system is only 1.5 years old so I find the battery issue odd.
    Suffice it to say, she is not too impressed so far.  The official word from HP is that her laptop will not be supported for Windows 7 which means no official updated drivers.  I don't understand how HP can say this for a 2 year old computer.
    So any suggestions as to what I can do to help make the battery last longer than 20 minutes when it's not plugged in?  If there are no Vista equivalent drivers then I might be stuck and will have to downgrade back to Vista. 
    Thanks for any tips or advice.

    Well, you will not like my next comment.  I think the next step is to expect a motherboard problem.  Since this problem has been known about for so long, I was hoping the manufacturers had solved this BUT you system is rather old.  Google "bad caps" for symptoms it you are really interested but that would be my next avenue to explore.  Strange things happen when those "caps" at first deteriorated to the point of failure.  Once they get more age, stranger things will happen or it will just finely fail.  Changing the OS will not solve the problem.
    You said in your first post "This machine had Windows XP installed but since the End of Support i have been having problems".  I think your problems were not linked to the EOL of WinXP, unfortunately.

  • N73 Firmware upgrade--- bad working Voice dialing

    I updated the firmware of my Nokia N73 from 268.0.0.3 to 368.0.0.1. With the older version delivered by the phone voice dialing worked. In the 268.0.0.3 I only could given voice command for the profiles not for the contacts. It didn't recognise any contact. Because of thos I decided to do the next firmware upgrade to 368.0.0.1 and now the voice dialing doesn't work at all. Each time I put the button to activate it tells me "fualty voicesystem"in dutch "fout spraaksysteem. Now it became even worser. Is there anyone who helps me out?

    Thank you for your reaction. I put the firmware for the second time to my phone. Now it seems working again. When I touch the button for voice dialing it works untill then. But I may ask for every contact in my contactlist but nothing happens. When I touch the button again it is not reacting then but only the second time. When i asked for an other profile it sometimes works. In my contactlist it is possible to hear the contactname. But via voice dialing none of the contacts to choose.
    best regards
    Voice Dialling seems to be a bit choppy on most of the N-series models, because they use speech synthesis. Whereas this works for profile names, it's a different tackle for contact names. This is because contact names are assigned by assigned by you, the user. If you select Play Voice Tag for any given contact in your phone, it will output this name using speech synthesis. You will have to EXACTLY copy this output. And, if the name of a certain user is "John Doe Geralds", it wouldn't suffice to simply say "John Doe". You'd HAVE to put Geralds behind that, and in the EXACT same way as the device says it.
    The only way to change a voice label for any given name is to change the name itself. The same goes for profile names and commands, but I wouldn't change these as the defaults work fine.
    A reason because of which voice dialling may not work can also be found in the user's voice details having become useless for the phone. To correct this, go to Tools> Voice commands > Options > Settings and choose: Reset Voice Adaptations. Note that carrying this out means that ALL data collected about your voice shall be lost; you might have a bit of difficulty using voice features the first couple of times after performing this instruction. Beware to EXACTLY copy whatever the phone says, even though you know real-world pronunciation to be different. Until now, I haven't had to actually adjust the pitch of my voice to the synthesizer's pitch, but I know this would improve recognition accuracy.
    Oh yeah... Sorry for my late reaction!

  • ECC 6 upgrade - BADI adjustments

    Hi,
    We are working on SPAU analysis and having a couple of BADI implementations in with modification assistant with green traffic sign.  It's normally asking for creating select/new implementation window.
    Anyone have idea about how to proceed the same ?
    regards
    Jijo

    Hi,
    Was there a BADI implementation for this BADI before your upgrade? You can  compare it with the other non upgraded systems in the landscape for this. If it is green traffic light then I feel that just click it and go as per SAP suggestion.

  • Problem upgrading windows 3.6 catalog (freshly exported) to LR4 catalog on Mac

    I've recently moved from LR3.6 on Windows to LR4.1 on Mac, creating a new catalog in the process.
    Now I wish to access my original catalog on the Mac so I first did a full "export to catalog" on the Windows PC (to first consolidate multiple folder locations into a single top-level folder) to an NTFS volume on a USB disk.
    Mac obviously read-only on NTFS (in basic config) so I then copied the catalog from the USB to a newly prepared Mac disk. (I'm sure I read somewhere recently that you should do something permissions-wise on a newly prepared disk but can't for the life of me find it now).
    I then tried opening the copy of the exported LR3.6 catalog from the new Mac disk & immediately get prompted to upgrade it to LR4.x so click OK.
    A few seconds later I get a failure with an error complaining the catalog is corrupted & forwarding me to an LR1.x support page.
    As I only have USB2.0 on the PC the export takes hours (280Gb) as does the copy from the USB 2.0 disk to the new Mac disk (via Thunderbolt).
    Is there something I can do to "fix" this supposed corruption?
    I haven't (yet) tried re-opening the USB-version of the catalog on the PC as it isn't fired up ATM but I have no reason to suspect genuine corruption.
    Any suggestions appreciated!
    Paul

    Yep, don't bother to export as catalog.
    Look at the catalog on the Windows machine and make sure the folders are shown as a hierarchy (http://www.lightroomqueen.com/blog/2008/12/17/i-have-a-long-list-of-folders-can-i-change-i t-to-show-the-folder-hierarchy/) and set them up that way if they're not.
    Then copy your existing catalog over, without needing to export and without needing to copy the files again.

  • Upgrading and moving a catalog

    I have Photoshop Elements 11 on my old computer with a catalog with many tags. I bought a new machine and loaded Photoshop Elements 12. I then backed up my Elements 11 catalog using Full backup. Then went to new machine and restored. All my pictures transferred and file structure was as expected. But only some, seemingly random, tags came through. Also many edited pics are now showing as two or more separate files and not as versions. None of my albums were restored. More than anything I need the tags! What happened? Can anyone help?

    I did as you suggested and all looked good on old computer. Installed PSE12 on new and restored. Same result. All pictures, all captions but only a few tags. And to make matters worse some random date/time errors that mixes up my files....a real mess. The only good part is that I got the files. Not at all sure of next steps. Thinking of installing PSE11 on new and see what happens if I restore the PSE backup created with that version...very time consuming though

  • LR Installation - Upgrading LR 1.X Catalog

    Haven't yet installed my LR2 upgrade but was reading the LR2 user's guide and confused by words talking about "import photos from a catalog into LR." There is a note under this topic that says, "Database files or catalogs from LR 1.x ... must be opened and updated in LR2 before they can be imported into LR2." And then, talks about a dialog box from File/Import from Catalog regarding "existing photos". The options under existing photos --- I don't understand.
    So, simply, when I upgrade to LR2, will the install routine automatically ingest and convert the LR 1.x catalog, so won't have to do a separate import? Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

    I believe you are correct, yes. That note in the guide might be meant to say that you could't use the import from another catalog fucntion unless both catalogs are LR2.
    BTW, simply attempting to open a LR1x catalog in LR 2 will give you an "upgrade" dialogue which should do the trick (I'd recommend backing up your LR1x catalog manually before starting that, as an extra precaution). Also, my dialogue box defaulted to giving me the option to upgrade only one of several catalogs that I had. In order to choose the correct one, then, I had to select the "create new catalog" option, let LR2 create an empty catalogue, and then from there open and relaunch and upgrade the correct one.
