  • Upgrading 4 different macs - 10.8.2 - ALL 4 hangs with apple logo but before spinning wheel

    Crazy! Never happened to me EVER, not even close and I've been using and administrating macs since 89. Upgraded all my macs, incl the MBP of my nephew; MBP Retina, MacBook Unibody (hybriddisk), MBP 17" + Mac Mini (thunderbolt) ALL ultimately needed reformating drive and fresh install to get up & running again, hours of extra work! All identical freeze displaying apple logo but no spinning wheel. Could start all in recover mode but could not from there remedy whatever fault there was. 3 of the macs more or less (Retina & MacBook) identical equipped software-wise but MBP 17" very sparse software (belonging to computer-"illiterate" so no fancy software. The latter had Lion so in that case as opposed th eother macs this wasn't an incremental 10.8.1->10.8.2 upgrade.
    I have upgraded all macs fresh via internet so no upgrade via downloaded install file on for ex usb-unit.
    Any ideas?? I'm really frustrated and disappointed, this cannot be a freak occurence!

    I have no helpful reply to give you except moral support: I'm having the exact same problem (going from 10.6.8 to 10.8.2 on a 2010 MacBook Pro.) I have tried reboots, reloads, disk repair, permission repair (between each attempt I reloaded from a clone).  Also tried loading it, then repairing from Recovery mode, then restarting. Endless spinning wheel at the Apple logo as 10.8.2 attempts its first startup every time. 

  • Upgrading Early 2009 Mac Pro to Yosemite

    I need an upgrading for dummies tutorial   I want to upgrade some applications that I use and can not do that with Mountain Lion which is currently on my Early 2009 Mac Pro. (Processor 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon - Memory 12 GB - Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB - OSX 10.8.5). My monitor is a NEC MultiSync P221W and I use Spectraview II to calibrate. I also have an older Dell monitor attached that I only use for palettes, etc.
    I have discovered I can not upgrade to Mavericks and will need to go to Yosemite. I am nervous about the process and undecided what is the best way to tackle this. I assume I will first need to do a full backup and do have a bootable drive that I can use. Can I then just install Yosemite or is it best to do a clean install? I have heard so many negative things about installing Yosemite that I am really uncertain of the best way to tackle this. I am particularly concerned about the reports of system slow down.I have an even older MacBook Pro that is also running Mountain Lion but I have no plans to attempt an upgrade on it. It has had problems since it was fairly new and right now I use an external keyboard and a mouse because using the track pad or keyboard on the laptop cause it to lock up. (Long story and multiple rebuilds during and after Apple Care). So at this point the only machine I am concerned about is the desktop. I use it mainly for Photoshop and Lightroom and Quicken. If someone can give me some advice I would be most appreciative. I am an older gal with casual computer knowledge, living out in the sticks and really have no one available for help. Thanks in advance

    Depending on how hard you push your system, size of files you work with.
    You may want to look into 5,1 firmware; a W3690 or X5690 3.4GHz 6-core even to help more.

  • Exclamation mark appears instead of photo. Recently upgraded from i mac to Macbook air and all was transferred over. I have run all the repair and rebuild functions in iphoto. Any other solution?

    Exclamation mark appears instead of photo. Recently upgraded from i mac to Macbook air and all was transferred over. I have run all the repair and rebuild functions in iphoto. Any other solution?

    Since iPLM failed to help try the following:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Safari - attempting to upgrade but getting bill of material error

    please help. i am attempting to upgrade my safari to the latest release. i have been receiving error message stating i don't have the Bill of Materials. I reloaded all the software that came with the laptop yesterday and still having the same issues. (i have been experiencing 'quirks' with the software - such as the back button does not always work. some websites will not allow me to post etc). i own a iBookG4 with mac 0sx 10.3.9 and it has 768 Ghz. not sure if i am doing something wrong. this is my first apple (use a Dell for work) and learning as i go. I also attempted to load Firefox which appears in my tool bar but will not launch.
    Feeling helpless.

    You're running 10.3.9, for which Safari 1.3.2 is the last version that will run on it; if you're attempting to install a higher version, you didn't read the system requirements and you're wasting your time. You have two choices:
    1. Upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4 while it's still available, for approx $129. Apple no longer sells this, but then you can update it to 10.4.11 and install Safari 3.x.
    2. Download and install Camino, which will run on 10.3.9.
    Get rid of your downloads of Safari 3.x and Firefox 3; they both require at least Mac OS X 10.4.11. This was clearly stated on the web pages for both in the system requirements, so always be sure to read them carefully before downloading something.

  • Installing Photoshop CS4 Extended upgrade on my Mac Pro. query

    Hi all I do hope you can help me. I have just purchased ps cs4 extended upgrade for my Mac. On attempting to install the istall program checks my system profile then asks me for the serial number for the new product. all well up to this point, then on the next page it tells me it cannot find an existing product to upgrade from and asks me to insert the serial number of the qualifying product. I have the full version of cs3 standard on my Mac so i insert the number. Ok so far. on the same page it asks me to choose my qualifying product showing cs3 extended in the box. However when I try to insert cs3 standard I find there is nothing to change to only this one option.  On the adobe website it clearly shows that I should be able to update from the standard version  to extended. Can anyone dvise me. I purchased the upgrade from Apple and I note it is the international version.

    Thank you for your Help, just come off the phone to Adobe. I had to put a Challenge code in as it was as you suggest the wrong package only allowing Upg from CS3 Extended. All sorted now thanks to a very patient and helpful Adobe guy.  Have since updated and everything seems ok even though I am on Snow Leopard.
    Thanks again Denis

  • My computer crashed after an attempt to upgrade to Yosemite. I can't quit the installer and my MacBook keeps on restarting

    My computer crashed after an attempt to upgrade to Yosemite. I can't quit the installer and my MacBook keeps on restarting

    I Have a 2008 Macbook Pro 15". It was running issue free until I upgraded to Yosemite. Now my logic board is fried and apple will not fix it. It started with mail accounts unable to send mail, just had to delete accounts and re- install to fix that. But, at the same time as the download, I started intermittently getting a green tint over the screen along with a snowy static like an old TV set. Fearing that my download was corrupt, I re- installed Yosemite over-writing the previous version .  The green haze kept coming and going, but I also started getting strobe style white flashes in boxes in the 4 corners of my monitor. I had to do power button forced shutdowns because of pointer and keyboard function failure. Apple Genius desk told me it appeared to be a logic board failure but my computer was too old for them to work onand referred me to a Mac Specialist Center. I was told by both places that Apple installed defective logic boards back then due to changing solder formula. They extended product warranty by adding 1 yr but that still expired in 2012. I tried to post a warning on Mac Forums twice about Yosemite being a poison pill to certain platforms and my posts were pulled. The second attempt was responded to in my personal email account stating that if I don't stop posting derogatory comments, I will be blocked from forum. I am just trying to insert warnings in posts where I can. They haven't discovered that yet. Spread the word!

    I have repeatedly tried to install flashplayer on Mac 10.5.8 with no success. I have followed the online help document line by line and tried Mike M's suggestions to no avail. I now have no flashplayer and each time it continues to report a failure to launch even when reset. the error report on apple state a breakpoint and unknow required load command whatever that is....HELP!

    Hi Katie,
    Flash Player is no longer supported on OS X 10.5.8.  If you try to install one of the latest versions, it'll just terminate.  You need Flash Player 10.3.183.90 (released 7/9/2013), which is the last version supported on OS X 10.5.8.  The installer file is in this zip package, http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.90_archive _mac_only.zip.
    If you have an Intel machine, you may want to consider upgrading to 10.9 (free upgrade) so that you can install the latest, most secure, version of Flash Player.

  • When attempting to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I receive the message "This disk is used for Time Machine Backups" when I try to select the lone available hard drive.

    When attempting to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I receive the message "This disk is used for Time Machine Backups" when I try to select the lone available hard drive.  I have ensured that Time Machine is turned off.  Upon some Google research, some who reported this problem were told to delete the folder backup.backupdb, but I do not have this folder on my Mac.  Any suggestions?

    The folder would be at the root of your hard drive. Double-click Macintosh HD and look there.
    If it isn’t there, I’m not sure what it is seeing.

  • Attempted to upgrade to Mavericks from Lion 10.7.5 and does not work, what gives?

    Attempted to upgrade to Mavericks from Lion 10.7.5, but whenever I attempt the upgrade the Apple prompt replies 'cannot complete'. I may be mistaken, but I think my Mac Pro is qualified (MacPro 1.1, Dual-Core Xenon @2.66 GHz, 6 GB DRAM). What gives?

    The MacPro 1,1 does not support Mavericks. It has to be a 2008 model or later:

  • Need help! Attempting to Upgrade to Mavericks broke my MacBook Pro

    I'm in need of help.  I'll try to give all the info I can.
    I have had this MacBook Pro for at least 4 years.  
    I had been running 10.5 for a long time without issue.  At some point, I set up a dual boot with Windows XP.  I'm not sure why I did this.  It seemed like a cool idea at the time.  I rarely ever used Windows... But I liked having the option.  It worked very well.
    Years went by.  No issues.  A few months ago I tried updating itunes and realized I needed 10.6 in order to do that... so I bought a Snow Leopard disk and successfully installed the upgrade.
    Past few months I've been running 10.6.8 without any issues.  Dual booting into Windows XP still worked.  No issues.
    Then today I realized that installing to 10.9 through the App Store was free.  Sure why not... so I tried installing the upgrade... It downloaded, rebooted, started installing and then quit.  Something about my disk being corrupted or something.  It suggested i reboot my machine, back up my files and try installing again.
    Unfortunately, now when I tried booting, it was giving me a grey screen with a circle and a slash through it instead of the Apple logo... and then it would immediately boot into Windows.   It wouldn't boot into OSX at all.
    I tried booting into safemode and it would just sit at the green screen (apple icon showing) and sit there for hours.  NOthing would happen. 
    I tried booting via my OSX Snow Leopard disk and doing a repair disk and it's not allowing me to.  Any ideas?

    It doesn't really make sense for the drive to suddenly fail.  I don't even think Mavericks fully began installing... it downloaded the file, rebooted and then said that the install failed. 
    The drive is set up with 2 partitions.  One partition for Mac OSX and the other for Windows XP.   I'm still able to boot into Windows XP without any issue at all.  Doesn't that suggest the drive itself might be fine?  I wonder if the attempt at installing Mavericks messed up some files on the MacOSX partition?
    Here's what I've attempted to do...
    I tried doing Shift + Cmd + V and this is the last few lines of code it gives me:
    ** Root file system
    Executing fsck_hfs (version diskdev_cmds-491.6-3).
    ** Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Invalid extent entry
    (4, 0)
    ** The volume could not be verified completely.
    /dev/rdisk0s2 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8
    fsck failed!
    Kext loading now disabled.
    Kext unloading now disabled
    Kext autounloading now disabled.
    Kernal requests now disabled.
    Can't get kextd port.
    syncing disks... Killing all processes
    continuing
    I used my OSX 10.6 (snow leopard) disk to boot holding C... this allowed me to open up disk utility from the utilities menu.  Within Disk Utility, I see my Mac OSX partition drive... When I click "Verify Disk" it gives me an error saying "Invalid extent entry.  The volume could not be verified completely.  Error:  This disk needs to be repaired.  Click Repair Disk"...  When I click "Repair Disk" I get an error that says: 
    "Verify and Repair volume "Macintosh HD"
    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Invalid extent entry
    The volume could not be verified completely.
    Volume repair complete.
    Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
    Error:  Disk Utility can't repair this disk... disk, and restore your backed-up files."
    And a popup that says:
    "Disk Utility stopped repairing "Macintosh HD"   Disk utility can't repair this disk.  Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files"
    .... Is there anything else I can do?  Again, the second partition (on the same drive) that I have called "Untitled" is home of my Windows XP partition.  I'm having no trouble booting into Windows XP... 
    NOt sure what I can do from here.  It seems the attempt to upgrade to Mavericks messed some stuff up.  I am merely guessing that this is due to my drive having two partitions (one for Windows).  I guess it's semi plausible that it was just a complete fluke and the drive randomly got corrupted after 5 years at the exact moment I attempted to upgrade to Mavericks, but I find that highly unlikely. 

  • When I attempt to upgrade my 10.5.8 Macbook, I am told that I need at least a 10.6.6 to upgrade!!!

    When I attempt to upgrade my 10.5.8 Macbook, I am told that I need at least a 10.6.6 to upgrade!!! And advice on how to avoid this Catch 22?

    It's a requirement to access the App Store.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later

    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you do not normally sync

    what happens when "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you do not normally sync", & they say in step 2 or 3 in order not to loose your stuff "If you are updating your iOS device on a computer with which you do not normally sync , or if you disconnect your device before the sync process is complete, you may notice that some media content that was previously on your device is no longer there. You can restore this content by syncing with the Mac or PC with which you normally sync."
    now what if the pc that was originally used to sync my ipod , has corrupt or  bad systems files that are causing it from working correctly...? when i plug it in to the o.g. operating sysytems (win xp) it doesnt ever recognize or discover the ipod through itunes.  the pc will pop up the "cameras been plugged in, what would you like to do...?" but nothing thru itunes.  now if i reboot & run the windows 7 operating system w/itunes that has backed my ipod before & synced a few times as well, but not the o.g. op system used from the beginning (the very initial set up done on the ipod) it works fine, but DOES give me the warning "updating to 5.0 willdelete some of your apps & media, including ...  ....will only preserve contacts, calenders," ....etc.
    MY HUGE CONCERN IS if i do hit update & go through w/it, & not having been able to sync it to the one normally used to sync my ipod, will that back up i made be able to restore my game seetings, GAME SAVES, & data achievement type information....?
    please, i'm very hesitant to go through w/it, so if you can please help me out here & let me know asap.....i canimagine you're all busy busy, so  i thank you for your time here w/this
    thank you

    Not that hard. One the computer you are using do the following:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music using a third-party program like one of those discussed here.
    Copy music
    - If you have synced photos you need a paid program like TouchCopy or PhoneView
    - When all the media in on the computer, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    That computer is now your syncing computer. Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps or music.
