After Restore I Can't Boot

I work in a company IT department. I started in May and at that point had this guy who worked with me (who doesn't now) tell me that I needed to install this software called LikeWise. It's used for pushing rules out across a network to get peoples passwords changed periodically and other stuff I'm sure. This involved my user profile being migrated or changed in some way, with the effect of having added me to the company domain. So when I log in I would then have to type "Domain/rwallace" as my username. So this complicated the more simple user name that I had been using and as a result I became one of the only people with this program. Then recently in trying to get access to this machine through LogMeIn I was unable to get it to accept my Mac creds and so I decided to take LikeWise off. Mistake. Because I did not have an alternitive admin account (or any for that matter) I had no recourse when I went to log in upon a restart and found that no longer were my credentials working. They didn't work without the domain, they just didn't take. So then I'm thinking this program which had pulled a switcheroo on my user identity in order to control it dropped my user name or something...something changed is what I'm saying, so a year later here is the issue. At this point I can not log in, so I take my external hard drive with the Time Machine backup on there and go tell it to restore. After coming in this morning, after having letting it run all night, I just see the gray screen with the apple and the spinney thing going. So I force turn off the machine, and this same screen comes up again. Did I do the restore wrong? I did not wipe the drive first, but told it that it could delete whatever it needed to in the restore setup process. I did boot off the external drive, but it started the same way as if I would have from the recovery partition or the Install DVD so that doens't seem like a bad place to have started. However this is was upgraded to Lion, so my install DVD reflects the Snow Leopard OS. What can I do to get my time machine to successfully create a bootable instance of itself on my HD after this sort of failure?

I know that this issue has come up on the board before, but as i search through them I have yet to find one that has been solved that is applicable to what I am doing here. Perhaps I just need an answer extrapolated or repurposed for my needs to be able to get a working machine sooner then later.

HT5624 Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password.

Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password. My iPhone is now set to factory settings as a new phone, what can i do to access the back up from my phone before I reset it.

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

After restore, ARD can't authenticate to OSX.5.6, only local admin shows up

After restoring a Xserve that lost its boot drive (I had a duplicate drive that had the OS and settings on it from when I updated the server, it was a backup, however the server only does AFP so no complicated settings changed between when it was made (6 months ago) and yesterday. I can now no longer access the server with ARD, as in the remote management section of the Sharing control panel, it only shows "Local Administrator". No other users. If I go to Server Preferences, my users and groups are all there. The only way I can connect is enable "Anyone may request permission to control screen". Not ideal if I'm at home when I need to get to it (through VPN, don't worry, its safe). Why can't the Sharing CP see all of the other users? If I click Add to add a user to that list, only "Local Administrator" shows up.
I'm assuming some kind of LDAP problem, maybe? Not sure how the two interact. (The local admin account and the Administrator account as they are obviously different...)
Ideas?

mattknows you are not insane - I used your solution and it works (had to use the Local Administrator on ARD as it's the only one that works) - It's a brand new installation of osx server and the only thing I did was downloading the updates.
Could this be a setting and not a bug problem?

I have two iPhoto Libraries now after restore. Can I delete one?

A couple of weeks ago I had a problem with iPhoto and used the restore feature. Now I have two folders in my Pictures section of iMac. One folder says iPhoto and the other folder says iPhoto (original). They both had the same pictures in them except for the new folder in which I had added pictures that I recently transferred from my camera. I saved the extra pictures and added them to my original iPhoto folder. Now it seems like I should delete one of the folders but I am afraid to do that. Both folders seem to be working properly now.
At the time I had the problem I had just installed a new camera software for transferring photos. After restoring iPhoto, I deleted that software. I don't know if that software was the cause of the problem and I don't know if deleting the software put the original iPhoto back to normal. But now I do have two folders that have the same pictures. What would happen if I deleted one of the folders (probably the newest one and keep the original)? Would I create yet another problem?

Yes - you can delete one - but before emptying the trash fully tes tthe remaining one to be sure it is what you want

After restore I can see etc, tmp and var.

I have a G5DP1.8 with 2 internal hard drives.
I cleaned one drive off, then used Apple Disk Utility's restore feature to copy the main drive to the freshly cleaned dive. After rebooting to the new drive, I can see the etc, var and tmp directories. They are no longer hidden. Theey also have a small upturned arrow in the lower left corner as if they are aliases.
How do I make them invisible to the system again?

Use the instructions in this article to hide the folders; steps 4 through 7 can also be done on your hard disk.

Restored server - Can't boot [URGENT]

Hello!
I need to move/migrate a Windows Server 2008 R2 (Domain controller, alone) to new hardware.
So to do this i have:
* Maked a full backup of the old server, with Windows Server Backup
* Restored the backup on the new server, using a Windows Server 2008 R2 install disc.
But when i start the new server this is happening: http://goo.gl/2TcaUQ (Skip to 1:30)
Here you see at the last second that the server is rebooting.
* I tried to start the server with boot logging, but the log file is empty.
* I tried startup repair, but i did not find any tool (used a tool to remove local password) See here: http://goo.gl/NOg7Yb
But if i do a new install of Windows Server 2008 R2 the server it starting just fine.
But I need all applications,
SQL Server, domain setup
etc. on the old server.
What to do?

Hi,
If you move/migrate a Windows Server 2008 R2 to new hardware, you need to perform a Bare Metal Restore and the two physical computer must have the same make, model, and configuration (identical hardware).
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:
How to restore a Windows installation or move it to different hardware
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249694/en-us
You could use ADMT tool to migrate Domain controller, please see:

After updating software - can't boot

I updated software last night but didn't take the time to upgrade the firmware ( instead I shut it down) and now it will not start up past the blue screen.

Do you mean that you turned it off during a firmware update?
If so, you will need to try to repair the old Firmware before you can get things working again.
You can read more about this at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303469
And, you can download the restoration CD at:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/firmwarerestorationcdv10.html
You will need to download and create the CD on a different Macintosh that is still operational.
Hope this helps you out. Let me know how it works out for you.

Kernel panic after system update - can't boot :(

Hi
I've applied some pending updates to the system while restarting my MBP (I'm not sure, but it probably has contained the update from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4) but now it won't boot - I get a kernel panic.
When I boot instead using an external USB drive with a 10.6.3 installation on it, I get the message about the panic (below).
Any ideas how to solve this would be VERY MUCH appreciated.
Thanks!

After restoring how can I get my notes and photos back?

I plugged my iPad then it shut down and when I plugged it again and it showed that I need to restore it..
Now how do I get my notes and photos back...

You'll have to resync using your own computer. It should restore from your backup.

Can't enable iCloud Keychain after restore?

I know my security code and the Apple ID password, as well as the phone #. However, I haven't received the message yet. I don't think my carrier supports SMS. This was the only device with keychain enabled, and after restoring I can't use it to confirm itself. Is there some other way to set up keychain?

If you can't receive the verification code via sms on your phone, then you need to contact Apple support as the prompt indicates. They can verify your credentials and add your device to the keychain: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

Can't boot to external drive from g5

Hi, I have a new 1TB firewire 800 external drive. I have 1 G5 with leopard 10.5.8 on it, but it had tiger on it at one point.
I installed tiger onto this external drive (10.4.4) However, after installing, I can't boot to the external drive.
I have tried going to the startup disk- it shows up in the options, but then just reboots back to my internal HD. I have also tried holding the option key down on restart, but the external disk doesn't show up.
Please help- I have put a lot of time and effort into this.

Problems with Pcd Content after restore EP Portal with online Backup

Dear Colleagues,
We have problems to show Pcd Content (Browse and Search) of the Content Administration tab of the EP Portal after restore with a online Backup during Disaster Recovery Test.
Restore has become on a mirror system of Production environment. Ours EP Portal is a cluster system with the following configuration:
Production landscape:
Node 1
Disk K:\ SAP SCS directory. (Clustered)
Disk E:\ SAP Central Instance directory (Local)
Node 2
Disk E:\ SAP Dialogue Instance directory (Local)
Disk M:\ SQL Datafiles. (Clustered)
Disk L:\ SQL Logfiles. (Clustered)
Disaster Recovery landscape:
Only a Node
Disk K:\ SAP SCS directory. (Clustered)
Disk E:\ SAP Central Instance directory (Local)
Disk M:\ SQL Datafiles
Disk L:\ SQL Logfiles
Portal Version
J2EE Engine = 6.40 PatchLevel 105424.313
Portal = 6.0.18.0.0
After restore, the data base as the SAP application starts
correctly but when logon in the Portal, the Pcd Content of Content Administration tab
and to other tabs with similar information is not shown.
After restore it can be necessary to reactivate some type of configuration, links, etc?, for this type of restore is better to make a backup offline instead of online one?
We are thankful for any information on the matter.
Thanks,
Regards.
Rafa R.R.

The issue was solved with a offline backup.

SCCM 2012 R2 PxE can't boot - your pc need to be repired.

Dear All,
These days, I upgraded SCCM 2012 to R2 , after that PxE can't boot , and shows a blue screen that your pc need to be repired, same issue like this:http://www.gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.ie/2013/02/sccm-2012-task-sequence-fails-with-bcd.html
And, i have also re-configed the pxe more times follow by this acticle , and still failed.
And, after I replace the \RemoteInstall\SMSTemp\2014.01.08.12.31.26.01.{xxxxxxxxx}.boot.bcd to \RemoteInstall\Tmp\x86x64{xxxxxxx}.bcd, and the PC can boot to the winpe well. that means the pc using Tmp folder's BCD store
to boot to WinPE, and not using SMSTemp's.
I check the PxE process:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722358(v=ws.10).aspx
PXEBoot.com downloads Bootmgr.exe and the BCD store, and I think PXEBoot.com should download BCD store from SMSTemp folder, and should not be the Tmp folder.
So, my question is that why te PXEBoot.com download BCD from Tmp folder ? And how can I change it to download BCD from SMSTemp folder. ? I have been getting to crazy about this fucking problem.
Nemo

Reinstalling WDS and the PXE was not the answer, at least not for me, but I dunno about the original poster as he kept quiet.
For now I am trying to get SCCM2012 R2 running as this is the topic for my final projekt.
But I am stuck here, the problem is the same as the original poster mentioned.
Even thougt DHCP options are set to my CM and smsboot\x86\wdsnbp.com, pxe keeps loading boot\... and fails.
Making a copy from smsboot to boot and renaming the file fixes it in a dirty way.
The WDS-service has never been configured manually, after rolling back to a fresh Server and installing CU1 first nothing changed about that (PXE worked at all at least) und reinstalling the living dead out of the roles and features fixes nothing.
The remoteinstall folder gets populated everytime, with the SMS related stuff and the wds related stuff, I guess (boot, SMSboot, ...).
I tried various variations of the start path, TFTP still loads from boot instead smsboot.
The Images have been temporarily replaced with the one from our old site.
I renewed the whole site, this bugs me since 2012 R1 and R2 is the second site too.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help with an working solution.
Let me know if you need some more informations, site is described below.
In case this should get another Thread, let me know.
Thank you guys :)
Hyper-V Environment, Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on all three Hosts (Gen 2),
Followed mainly the MS TLG for SCCM2012 for this, supported by windows-noob.
Have a nice day.
Little Edit right here: renaming the file only helps with the 89 error thing, but it doesn't help booting the sccm image.

Msi p55-gd65 problem, can't boot

Hello, yesterday i have tried change graphic card to gtx 480, and after that PC can't boot, even if i have changed to old graphic card. Tried other psu, other graphic, put off bios battery and didnt help.
Here is a video what is going on: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7243958/Wideo0020.3gp

Quote from: Bernhard on 03-March-12, 21:31:17
Well lets trace back the steps. It started happening at the time you added the 480.
I don't want to be a pessimist, but there is the possibility that an overload on the PSU may have caused a problem on the 12V circuit of the PSU causing other damage on the 12V board input circuits.
but how motherboard could be damaged, this psu ocz fatal1ty 550w is about 1,5 year old, and its sufficient to turn on it gtx 480, even pc didn't turn on when i changed on gtx 480.

Can't Boot After New HD + Time Machine Restore

So a couple days ago my 27" iMac running Snow Leopard started making some weird noises and stalling out. Annoyed, I talked for a couple hours with apple tech support which eventually lead me to run an Apple Hardware Test. This test returned the error
"Alert! Apple Hardware Test has detected an error.
4HDD/11/40000000 SATA(0,0)"
I scheduled an appointment at the Genius Bar, and they replaced the hard drive.
After that I got it home and did a System restore from my time machine backup. It finished fine, but when I restarted it got stuck on the grey apple screen with the spinning dial thing.
I called apple back and they had me do a couple things like repair disk, verify disk, and one person had me reboot into this command line mode and type some stuff in. Nothing worked. After that They had me try to reinstall the OS first from archive, and next by erasing the hard drive and doing it. Both times the install fails with a big yellow exclamation point saying that it couldn't install support files and the OS couldn't be installed.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I'm currently trying to restore from my time machine backup again, but I'm not hopeful.

Here's what I got - apologies for any formatting peculiarities.
The problem: 10.6.6 mac won't boot after time machine restore to disk.
Further symptoms: Booting with Command-v shows several errors: usually blued and loginwindow collapse with errors from launchd. Errors will be of the style "dyld: Symbol not found: CSSMOID_APPLE_TP_MACAPPSTORERECEIPT" and other CommerceKit / CommerceCore framework errors.
A solution: Your Framework Security library may be an older version (possible cause with Time Machine below). The easiest way to fix this is to find another, working 10.6.6 Mac, and update the Security library on the broken machine.
Identifying if you're affected:
1) Boot the broken machine into "target" mode - hold "Command-t" during boot until the [Firewire|http://itunesu.utah.edu/terms/images/Firewire_Icon.png] icon appears.
2) Connect the broken machine to the working 10.6.6 machine with a firewire cable.
3) On the working machine, the disk of the broken machine should mount.
4) Open Terminal
5) Run "ls /Volumes" - the name of disk you mounted should be there (in this example, we'll use "Macintosh HD".)
6) Typing in the path of the broken machine, run:
<pre>
nm /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security | grep random_fd | cut -d. -f2
</pre>
(this does a dump of the library, looking for the version value)
If this comes back with the value 22457 (or less?), your Mac is not booting because it does not have the updated version of the Security library, which is required in 10.6.6 since Snow Leopard added the Appstore / Commerce framework.
Fixing if you're affected:
1) First, make sure the working 10.6.6 Mac has a correct version of the framework:
<pre>
nm /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security | grep random_fd | cut -d. -f2
</pre>
For 10.6.6, this should be at least "22458"
2) *Be extremely careful at this point* - Make sure on the mounted disk (not the machine you are working on!) run the following
<pre></pre>
2a) Make a backup of the broken library
<pre>
mkdir /Volumes/Macintosh HD/savedLibrary
cp /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security /Volumes/Macintosh HD/savedLibrary
</pre>
2b) Copy the working version over the non-working version:
<pre>
cp /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security
</pre>
3) Eject the mounted disk from the working Mac, disconnect the firewire cable, and reboot the "broken" Mac. It should come up.
If it doesn't, you have problem(s) that are probably outside the scope of this. I'd also suggest restoring your original security library that you saved off.
Suspected cause:
It appears that Time Machine never recorded the change to the Security library after the update. If the library hadn't changed, the machine should have failed to boot like it did after restore the moment a 10.6.6 update was applied.
Inspecting the contents of my Time Machine backups before and after updating shows that Time Machine never updated the Security Framework library - why is still not 100% determined, but restoring from it is definitely broken. Combing through the backup databases on my Time Machine disk:
