ALWAYS ERRORS WHEN DO ARCHIVE AND INSTALL

This morning after i can't login no more because the software update error , someone tell me to re-install by cd software
I use archive and install
But always error in finish-up
There were errors when installing the software
Please try again
I don't know why and don't know what to do
Can someone help me ?

Boot from the install disc (insert it and hold down C while starting up)
When you get past the language screen, open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Click Repair Disk. See if you can do the install after that.
If not, do an Erase and Install and restore your data from your backups.

Hard drive error - Corrupt files - Archive and Install?

Hi
I have been using Onyx for a while and last week it asked me to reinstall the Snow Leopard disc. I verified this in Disk Utility first and that also advised I had corrupt files. I installed the disc and all seemed fine when i checked again in Disk Utility. But now a week later I have the same problem and not sure whether it is a problem with 0SX or my hard drive. My mac pro is still under Applecare and they advised tonight that I should do another archive and install and if does not fix then to take the machine into my local Apple store.
Red part of Error message is - Invalid volume file count - it should be 362310 instead of 362313 and Invalid volume directory count - it should be 99776 instead of 99773.
The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired. - Error: This disk needs to be repaired etc.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem. I use Aperture 3 & Final Cut Express and until recently had problems getting the two to work together until Applecare helped.
Many thanks
Matt

Other people have certainly experienced a corrupt HFS volume header, which is what you have, or did have. It should be a very rare occurrence. If it happens frequently, then your drive is probably failing and should be replaced.

Can I partition my HD when I Archive and Install the OS?

I may need to perform an Archive and Install of OS X 10.6 due to some glitches, and this was recommended by an Apple tech support. If I do go through with this (hassle), does anyone know whether it is possible, to choose at that time to create a 2nd partition on my HD? I have a new MacBook Pro and during the installation/migration process of retrieving my data and transferring it from a backup HD to the new computer, I did not have an opportunity to create a 2nd (or more) partition. Anyone know if this is possible when doing an Archive & Install without a lot of hassle?
Thanks!

If you understood Apple's support people correctly, they seem to be a bit confused. Snow Leopard doesn't have an "Archive and Install" option. It has an upgrade install method. You can also launch Disk Utility early in the installation process to do the equivalent of an "Erase and Install" method.

As soon as the installation process shows you a "Utility" menu, open Disk Utility and use it to partition the computer's disk. After the installation, copy your data from the backup drive.

I get a error when i try and install iTunes!

When i try and install iTunes i get this error
Its really frustrating because i bought a 200$ iPod Touch and then i cant put music on it
Any help wold be apprecated.
Ive tried repairing all my .Net
I have un installed and reinstalled all my Apple Related stuff

Okay ... it's sounding a bit like you've got something stuck in your "pending update" machinery (the stuff that gets invoked when an update requires a restart). That can interfere with iTunes installs, although it's more common to see a lot of 8000FFFF errors in the Update History when that's going on.
Rather than experimenting with 8000FFFF instructions, I think instead we should try getting you on the radar screens of some Windows Updates specialists.
Try posting over at the Windows Update forums at Microsoft Answers:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_update
In your post there, describe the error message you're getting when installing updates, and the other symptoms (otherwise updates are apparently okay, and so on).
If the Microsoft Answers folks get you past the Service Pack message, can you then install the new iTunes version?

Archive and Install Mail Problem...could somebody please advise?

Hello,
I went to the "genius bar" today because my powerbook fan has been blazing like crazy. I had OS 10.4 on my computer, which I had installed from an upgrade about a year ago. I bought the computer a few months before and when it shipped with 10.3. So the guy at the mac store told me to re-install the system using the archive and install feature. He told me to re-install 10.3, which came with the computer, and then to run the upgrade that I have to get it back to 10.4.
I am having some problems. I have reinstalled X.3 and find that when I open the Mail application, all of my messages of the last year are gone. I can't find them anywhere. The most recent message is from May '05, when I upgraded from 10.3 to 10.4. I am afraid that if I do anything else, like install 10.4 that I will lose any chance of recovering these files. Does anybody have any advice on where I can recover the emails from my inbox and other folders? I will be very angry if they are gone for good, because the guy at the apple store assured me that everything would be saved by clicking the "preserve users and network settings" option in the re-install program. Furthermore, lots of older emails (pre-'05) have been saved, so it seems like the newer ones should be too. Or will they only show up when I re-install 10.4? I was holding off on doing this because I wanted to see if the fan would run less using the older system.
thanks for any advice!

cdingler:
When you Archive and Install all your info is saved in a Previous Systems Folder. You cannot boot from this folder, but you should find your data and prefs there. Check out this article: Archive and Install.
Try this: Go to the Previous Systems Folder and to the User's Library. When you open the Library Folder, go to Mail. All your stuff should be in there.
PS: Never do any major procedure such as installation, erase and install, archive and install without a good backup of everything you can't afford to lose.
Good luck.

Archive and install error lost files

My Powerbook G4 wouldn't boot up, when restarted it got stuck on the apple screen. I didn't have my install disks, however had an old install disk that came with an ibook G4. I inserted the disk, and the requirements read an apple computer with a G3 G4 or G5 processor. I ran the archive and install. A message came up at the end of the installation saying there was an error, however the computer started up on reboot. The problem is that the computer looks to be wiped out, the only thing on the desktop is the hard drive icon. When I went to get info on the hard drive the drive is almost full, so the information is still there. My applications are still in the application folder, however none of them will boot. My documents and music are all in the previous system folder. When a document was opened from the previous system folder it launched, and now word will launch from the dock. I tried to mount an external hard drive to back up all the files in order to run a erase and install, however the hard drive wouldn't mount. Any ideas?

Back up your personal files from the Previous System Folder. You will need to erase the drive and reinstall OS X. However, you cannot use an installer disc for a different Mac model as these original installer discs are machine dependent. You need either a retail OS X installer for a version that will boot the computer or the original discs that came with the computer.
I suggest doing the following before installing OS X:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must 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 or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

Error at the end of Archive and Install; Need Quicktime reinstall quickly!

I got all the way through an Archive and Install and at the very end it said there was an error in the process. Everytime I do it, same thing.
I'm trying to reinstall Quicktime 6 because I've read Final Cut Pro 4 doesn't work well with QT 7—I downloaded it recently. FPC performance has been horrible ever since!
I followed the easy step by step process Apple provides for Archive and Install but it doesn't work in the end. I'm trying to reinstall Quicktime 6. Currently working with 10.3.9. My original disks are 10.3.
I'm running off the original disks; don't know why it won't do it.
Need Quicktime reinstall quickly!

I already had, the problem is not covered on that page.
I'd had no response within a few hours so I had to force the Powerbook to shut down. On rebooting, it only got as far as the Apple logo and the progress wheel. I left it for half an hour and it got no further. I reset the PRAM again (I'd already done it before the actions detailed in the original post). Nothing. I tried again to Safe Boot. Nothing - not even the login screen.
I then tried to re-install OS X 10.5 - this time the option to 'update' was available which I did. It automatically restarted but still would not proceed beyond the Apple logo and progress wheel.
That's how things stand now. I have given up for the day but I can't think of any other course of action apart from a complete erase and install but that would be far to drastic because unfortunately, despite my insistence last time there were problems, nothing has been backed up.
Incidentally, I tried to boot in target mode to recover their account folder - the disk mounted on my MacBook Pro but when I tried to open it, my Finder crashed.

From TS3694:
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, and 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

The reason you had to manually drag them into Leopard is that they are either not compatible or need updates.
Is there a good fix for this or do I have to reinstall the software?
You cannot expect to drag a Tiger app into Leopard and have it work. You need the Leopard versions of all aps in order for them to work.

Okay ... so it's not one of the cases of bodged up ACLs on the Apple folder in Common Files. (That's been underlying a few of the recalcitrant E7W5s.
