[10.9] How to fix corrupted system frameworks
Now, I am a particularly experienced mac user, but this problem is completely out of my depth.
I use a Mac Mini 5,2, and keep its software as up to date as possible. I have configured the system for maximum performance, using utilities like SMCFanControl to keep it at low temp, even.
I updated my system from 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 as soon as the update was available. I have done this same thing dozens (at least) of times. However, this time after the update, many of my apps started showing an identical error:

All the parts showing errors seem (to me) to be system-level libraries and frameworks, which leads me to believe that the ones named were corrupted somehow during the Operating System update process.
What I want to know is, is there a way to fix this problem without Time Machine or a total OS reinstall? I don't have the funds to afford a 150+ GB backup drive for all my application data, etc.
"just backup everything first - having no backup at all is foolish, frankly."
Of course--I have backups, I just don't have space for an additional 100+ GB of them. Most of my data is in fact kept on a separate partition; it's just programs that I keep on my boot partition.
"Curse Client claims to be an 'alpha release' for Mac and is also no longer supported (since around July 2013) - so it seems likely that the problem is there."
As far as Curse Client goes, it's one of a half-dozen apps with the problem, including system apps. Curse Client is simply the only one that crashes so predictably.
"SMC Fan control can do physical damage to your Mac if you forcibly set it too low for the usage on the Mac, take care with that - I'm not sure you know how to manage the Macs internal temperature better than the onboard sensors, especially when gaming?"
From SMCFanControl's MacUpdate page:
smcFanControl lets the user set the minimum speed of the build in fans. So you can increase your minimum fan speed to make your Intel Mac run cooler. However in order not to damage your machines smcFanControl doesn't let you set a minimum speed to a value below Apple's defaults.
Also note that smcFanControl does not change the automatic fan speed handling at all, merely increases the baseline speed (the "idle" speed) to a rate of your choosing. If a higher speed is needed, the system will still increase the fan speed automatically.
I have four presets: 1800 RPM (Default minimum), 2048 RPM, 4096 RPM, and 5500 RPM (max available).
Anyway, thanks for the advice! I'll see if it helps any.

How to fix corrupt keychain permissions?
My keychain permissions have been corrupted. Anyone know how to fix this? Keychain First Aid as well as repairing disk permissions didn't help. What I have also tried, though without success, is starting up from the recovery partition and repair both, home folder & ACL permissions from there. Nothing worked. Any help welcome as I am getting more & more worried.
Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal. -

Hi,
Happy New Year!
May it bring all of us, Good Health, Happiness, Harmony & Prosperity!
I will like to let you know that a few month back, I bought this S10-2 directly from Leveno, USA, but regrettably with in a a few days, I realized that this machine has the following problems:
1) The "dll files" are corrupt, details are as follows:
advpack.dll
dnsapi.dll
gdi32.dll
msv1_0.dll
2) Power Options: Control Panel / Power Options / Advance (Power buttons) has 3 options (default)
a) When I close the lid of my portable computer : Stand by
Kindly note that when I do this my system enters the stand by mode but after an hour or two even when the lid is close position, it wakes up again which I feel is a mall function and need a fix.
I will also like you to know that as of date I have repeatedly restored the machine to Factory Settings with a hope to fix the above problems but in vain as such I thought of approaching this august forum not only to educate myself as to how the files got corrupt but also to find a permanent fix, if possible?
Since I am out of USA where warranty facility can't be availed, hence I do look forward to hearing from a guru, who can bail me out!
Thanking you in anticipation and may God bless you!
Warm regards,
AnwarHi and welcome to lenovo forum...
wish you a happy new year ...

Resized partitions how to fix file system to new size.
So I had to resize my /boot partition which required me to resize my root partition. How do I fix the file system to match the new size of the partition?
I do not understand why this was moved? This is not a new install, I was tuning my hooks to use systemd replaceing udev, autodetect and base.
running
mkinitcpio -p Linux
resulted in an error that said there was not enough space. and that the image was probably not correctly made.
I based my decision on the placement of the post by the following post which seemed to be in the same category.

Deeply let down by Backup restore :-(
iPhone 3GS with iOS5.1 (the latest) started to behave abnormally. Made a full restore of iOS then tried to restore from backup only to discover message that my backup is corrupt or not compatible. Contacts were restored more or less OK but all applications data including personal financials (PocketMoney records) were lost.
Tried 2 times to run restore from backup but without success :-( Is there any chance to fix so-called corrupted backup file or at least to retrieve my app databases out of there?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.Not that I've heard of. You can extract some of your data from a backup using iPhone Backup Extractor, but I'm not sure that includes app data (you could try contacting them to find out). And even if you could, I don't know how you would sync it back to your phone.

How to fix corrupted/partial songs in iTunes match?
Recently I dowloaded 5 new albums from soundcloud and added them to my iTunes library. Since I subscribe to iTunes match my mac started to upload the 'unmatched' files to the 'cloud' for access across my many devices. Once available I decided to play my newly acquired music. To my surprise every recently uploaded song only plays about 3/4 of the way and then skips to the next song.
I have done some preliminary research and I am at my wits' end. I have done the following per the suggestion of Apple and the many blogs out there.
-Delete all songs from my iOS devices and try to play the song again. - No Success
-Import the files into another library to verify the original are good. Everything sounds perfect.
-Delete the files from both my library and iCloud. Update iTunes match. Add the problem songs back into the library. Finally update iTunes match. - No Success
So.........how can i fix this?There's a couple of way to do this.
Pull down View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This will effectively hide everything in the cloud and when you want to download more you'll have to show it again.
The other way is to use a Smart Playlist.
1. Pull down File > New > Smart Playlist.
2. Make the criteria something like Media Kind IS Music, Location IS on this computer. Click OK.
This will gather up all the tracks that are physically on the computer and you can play them from the playlist. -

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix a System Prefrences problem? Every time I try to open system prefrences I get that little color wheel over the System Prefrences window, and I am not able to change any system prefrence options or click on any options in the window. It just freezes up. I have iOS Lion 10.7.4 version on a 2012 Macbook Pro i7. Right now my screen saver is just a blank blue color, and I am unable to set any other photo from my photo library to the hpome screen picture even without going throiugh system prefrnces. I have tried Disk Utility>Verify Disk Permissions, and that did not work. I have also tried Disk Utility>Permissions Repair, and that did not work either. Can anyone tell me another option to try because I am unable to open Time Machine to repair to an earlier date because that window freezes up also. Does anyone know any other options? This Macbook Has been doing this sort of thing since I took it out of the box brand new 4 months ago, but it fixted itself before the Macbook help coverage was expired so I never bothered to call Apple about it. Now it just freezes up and never works, I can't change my system time out I cant change any system prefrences on my Macbook Pro. It really ***** bad. Also another symptom my macbook has right before this problem accours is my screen saver on my computer will automatically be swithched to that Galaxy screen saver all the sudden when I turn my computer on then when I go to change the screen save back to a picture I had on my computer the system prefrences just freeze up. Please let me know if you know what I can do. Thanks.
Also I am Unable to open Dock Preferences and i get the frozen screen color wheel Just like on System Preferences.

How to fix a corrupt QuickTime file?
Hey all,
Today I recorded all of our church services via iMovie (one long 4 hour clip), as I have been doing for more than a month now. However, the guy running the camera turned the camera off before I told iMovie to stop importing, so iMovie literally trashed the file.
I pulled the 50GB file out of the trash, but now QuickTime is giving me an error: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file." When I open the file in MPEG Streamclip, It says "File open error: unrecognized file type", and I click "Open Anyway". It tries to open it, but sfter 20 minutes, I get the error: "File open error: can't find video or audio tracks".
Any idea how to fix this file? (That is, outside of paying $150 for this service: http://simplemoviex.com/movierepair/repair.html .) It is not mission critical to have this file, but there was a baptism this morning that I would like to have...
MatthewHi Janke,
If you have Time Machine or another backup system that keeps multiple versions, you may be able to work our way back to a version that does not demonstrate the corruption.

Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi or simply solve this, I have tryied shotdown pressing keys like P and R, option, etc. Please help me .
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
