Your solution worked! I have commented out TMPDIR and changed the folder if path and now it works.
Thanku!

How can i install 8 gb ram on a mac mini early 2009 when it says i dont need the EFI firmware 2.1?i can only install 4 gb but the side of OWC says i can install 8 gb? what to do?

i have a mac mini early 2009 and i want to install 8 gb ram but it doesn,t work.
it says on the OWC site that i have to install the EFI firmware 2.1 update but it won,t let me,it says(the mac mini)that i don,t need this update.
my kernel is 32bit but my EFI is 64 bit,how can i install 64 bit so i can use the 8GB cause with 32 bit i can,t use more than 4gb ram

Check your computer's EFI Boot ROM version;
1. From the Apple () menu, choose About This Mac
2. Click More Info Under Contents
3. Select Hardware
If your Mac mini's Boot ROM version is the following or more recent, then you do not need the update to use 8 GB of RAM;
Boot ROM Version: MM31.0081.B06

IMac G3 ? How can I install BSD darwin PPC 8.0.1 ?

"has forgotten the password"
From the information supplied, I'd guess that the machine has been loaded with OS X 10.2 (Jaguar). You need the 10.2 installation disc to reset the password.
It is not wise to buy any Mac without all the original installation discs, and any discs required for a later OS which may have been installed.
It won't boot from a USB stick or USB drive. It may be possible to boot from a firewire external drive running OS X 10.2 or later, or in firewire target mode from another OS X Mac. It won't boot from an external DVD drive.
That model originally shipped with OS9 and either OS X 10.0 or 10.1 (neither of which was worth installing).
<350 MHz / 512 K / L2 64 MB / 6 GB / 24 CD / 56k>
Presumably this is the specification printed on the underside of the casing, in which case 6GB is the original HD size. The model did later ship with up to 40GB however, and it's certainly possible that it may have been replaced.
One caveat; some 6GB models could only be booted from a 6GB or smaller partition, so any upgrade would have to be partitioned accordingly.
If you get hold of a retail OS X disc 10.2 or later (but not 10.5), BSD is available from the installer as an optional installation (with the main OS). It's unlikely the previous owner would have installed it however.
Can't help you much further than that I'm afraid, but I'm sure there'll be another bus along in a minute

Can i install mac osx 10.5.4 on my ibookg4

I'm trying to install a retail version of Leopard that i purchased
and i get a Kernel Panic Screen every time the install is reaching about 45%, and sometimes i even get it during the DVD Check before the installation starts.
the only time i finally witnessed the process reach more than 90% i got an error log and that the installation was not successful.
knowing that prior to this the ibook had Tiger installed and running smooth which is bad since i selected erase and install option and i don't have the installation discs that came with the machine.
and my questions are:
1- can i install it from a portable dvd drive?
2- can i install it through my home network knowing that i don't have Mac Server?
3- it's really not worth it to try fixing this old machine since i know i will be paying a minimum of 500$ is there any hope for this to work somehow or should i abandon hope and look for a new machine?
here is my iBook G4's Configs:
Processor Name: PowerPc G4 (3.3)
Processor Speed: 1 GHz
# of CPUs: 1
Memory: 1.12 GB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Ver: 4.7.7f0
Hard drive space: 55.9 GB
Graphics Info: ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 with 32 MB VRAM Total
both "Hardware" and "Power On" test passed and i did verify both hard drive and it's permissions and they both passed.
looking forward to read a solution
thank you in advance

Aous:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
can i install it from a portable dvd drive?
By a portable DVD drive do you mean an external firewire DVD drive, or something else?
Why would you consider either an external drive or a network? Does that mean that the internal optical drive does not work?
the ibook had Tiger installed and running smooth which is bad since i selected erase and install option and i don't have the installation discs that came with the machine.
You really need to have possession of install disks for the OS you are running.
In terms of the kernel panics, it is difficult to know exactly where the issue lies without being able to boot the computer. little shoulders has suggested checking the RAM, and that would be a place to start. You might also want to remove the Airport Extreme card, as that is often a cause of KPs. Finally, I would try the install disk in another computer to be sure that the disk itself is not in some way implicated. Please make sure that the installer you are using is indeed a Full Retail Version, as computer specific installers not specific to you computer can be troublesome.

Can I install Windows 8 (DEMO) on a MAC and play windows based games ?

Can I install Windows 8 (DEMO) on a MAC and play windows based games ?

I installed the Developer beta with Bootcamp Assistant yesterday and was very impressed with the ease of the installation. Unfortunately, and I don't know if this is a problem with my video BIOS on my Macbook Air, but Windows 8 installs with two screens split horizontally - so it's effectively useless.
I tried 3 times and gave up. The same thing happens with Linux distributions, however with Linux I can pass "nomodeset" on the kernel command line which fixes it. I don't know how to do that in Windows.
This was happening with both 64x and 32-bit Win8 fwiw.
Oh, also...when I was trying to play around with Bootcamp.exe inside Windows 8, I remember a message popping up saying Bootcamp is only configurable with Windows 7 ISOs. But aside from the kernel graphics issues and some driver compatibility problems, Bootcamp loaded the Win8 ISOs fine.

We can't install Solaris 8 - IBM PC SERVER 315

Hello:
We are trying to install Solaris 8 (Intel) (02/02) in an IBM PC Server 315.
Some words about it:
- 128 Mb RAM
- Pentium Pro 200 Mhz
- Adaptec AHA-2940U/2940UW Ultra SCSI in PCI bus1,Slot 4 (Info from Solaris install) (Target 7)
- Hard Disk IBM SCSI (Target 0)
- CD-Rom SCSI IBM CDRM00203 (Target 6 of SCSI) (info from Solaris install)
We have a big problem.
We can't install Solaris from CD.
After Loading kernel , when it begins Searching /dev and /devices...we see this text in the screen repeated a lot of times:
WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci1011,24@2/pci9004,8178@1(adp0):
timeout: abort device, target=6 lun=0
And before this something like it has some problem and begins a resinc ??
Please Could you help us?
Solaris has been purchased from Sun on 12 March 2002
A lot of Thank's!
P.D: Please, excuse my poor English.
A lot of thank's.

two other severs wouldn't run the cd either? Break it down a little it will be more solvable. We will create two separate problems with this. First we will check the cd disk itself. Put in another system and install solaris. If that works, move to the cdrom drive....move it to the same computer you just installed solaris on...if it works then it is another problem.

Can't install mac os x on macbook pro anymore(now i have windows 7 on it)

Hi,
I have a macbook pro, there was mac os x 10.6.4 on it, after that I installed windows 7 on it, because i wanted a clean instal, but I couldn't because a kernel panic when i booted from the dvd mac os x 10.5(that I received when i bought the macbook pro), I also have a 10.6 snow leopard dvd. So I installed windows 7.
Now I can't install mac os x because of the kernel panic, I also tried a lot of dvd that i borrowed from friends, and I also bought a new mac os x snow leopard dvd ...
the error is just: you need to restart your computer.....
I tried also some key combinations on startup like: Command-Option-P-R keys,Command-Option-O-F,startup from dvd: pressing C on startup, pressing D on startup,pressing option on startup.
I searched evrywhere but didnt found a solution
Nothing helped so can someone help me please?
Now i have just a windows 7, i realy want mac os x back, its a lot easier in the class...
PS: I am a noob, so dont explain it hard please

You are just throwing things that have no bearing and can cause trouble, there is no Open Firmware, Intel based Macs use EFI, OF was part of the older G4/G5 and PowerMacs.
Unplug everything but keyboard and boot from 10.6 DVD.
Boot from Windows 7 DVD if you want and instead of installing, format the entire hard drive as NTFS and then try OS X DVD.
But first and foremost.... where is your backups? do you have OS X on external drive? how about putting OS X on external hard drive?
And you're sure this is a kernel panic? a prohibitory sign maybe?

Can't install fonts in user/library/fonts folder

I have a problem which has a number of different symptoms (I presume they are related as they all started at the same time):
I can't install any fonts into my user/library/fonts folder. Or, rather, I can install them but they vanish about five seconds later
I have three files on my desktop. Every 60 seconds (precisely) they vanish for about a second and then reappear
Seemingly randomly, but always when I empty the trash, I get a message saying "The last time you opened Finder, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again?"
The error message I get in (3) above always disappears when the desktop files blink as in (2) above.
These problems only started in the last 24 hours. Yesterday I installed an update which took me to Mail 6.6. I also installed a Microsoft update to Word. I also installed an update for TechTool Pro taking me from v6 to v7.
Solutions I have tried:
I have checked SMART status (no problems)
I have verified volume structures (no problems)
I have reset boot and kernel caches
I have deleted font caches
I have reset home directory permissions and ACLs
I'm running a MacBookPro with Mountain Lion 10.8.5
I am stuck, puzzled, frustrated but hopeful that someone in this community can help me out.
If you can, I would be so very very grateful.

If I am reading it correctly, do I boot using the drive copy, change premissions using utility, then reboot using the original drive? Is there another way to repair premissions, change password?

Also when I called Wacom support they actually had me create a new user account to install the software. It's odd that I can install the fonts in the applications folder in one user account but they do not show up in the administrator account.
As I stated, if that new account was an admin one, the fonts should be available to all users. Alternatively, they might be user specific, but you'll have to ask Wacom about that.

Install kernel .27?

I'm about to install Arch x86_64 on my laptop, but thought I would go for the latest kernel since it support my grahic and wireless card. Is it possible to install a preconfigured arch cd with this, else how can I install it after I've installed Arch on my laptop?
Thanks:)
Last edited by Ub1476 (2008-10-05 14:10:53)

It's probably easiest to install with the 2.6.26 kernel on the cd, then update to the .27. Since the .27 kernel hasn't even made it into Arch's testing repository you'll need to build it yourself. If you don't know about building packages read up about abs and specifically kernel building on the wiki. It's probably as simple as changing the version numbers in the PKGBUILD file, though it's possible there could be some compatability issues with a patches.

Oracle 11g does not support Ubuntu. It can be installed, but requires word-around:

Can't install 121118-12 on global zone

Hi, after our first round of patching, we're starting again. So, I've had to upgrade my external LPS to latest patches to get it to work at all. It is now on 119788-09 and 121118-12. The patchsvr has been reconfigured to point to getupdates1.sun.com without the trailing "solaris/".
So, I then tried to get my internal LPS working...proxy isn't running. smpatch pointed to the external (DMZ) LPS without a trailing "solaris/". Has patch revisions 119788-07 and 121118-08. Note, when I use the trailing "solaris/" then I get the "no patches" message. Without that, I now get a list of 40 patches (tho' I'm expecting about 190-odd as my external LPS is at the same patch levels otherwise and smpatch which points direct to Sun comes back with 196 patches).
Just to confirm, my current.zip (/var/sadm/spool/cache/Database/http....***...current.zip) gives me a patchlist.delimited file that is 9419 lines long. That seems about right.
So I thought - gosh! I really hope that this isn't going to be a 2-step patch process (currently running kernel rev 118833-24 and have seen a few warnings about going up to the mid-30s) so maybe I have to install the latest UC client patch for this to see that it needs more patches.
But trying to run "smpatch add -i 121118-12" barfs and finishes with the following message;
Patch 121118-12 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.
WARNING: patchadd returned <5> for global zone
pkgadd: ERROR: The package <SUNWppror> is currently installed on the system in the

of this package from the global zone first (via pkgrm) and then install

pkgadd: ERROR: package <SUNWppror> cannot be installed on this system/zoneSo, dutifully, I go to run (after unzip'ing my jar file); "patchadd -G 121118-12". The first time it says much like below, but to check the log file which says the bit above. Any subsequent attempts give up on telling you to look at the logfile because you should've already and just tell you this;

0 Patch 121118-12 is for global zone only - cannot be installed on non-global zone.
No patches to install.Funnily enough, I am running on my global zone, but patchadd and smpatch just can't seem to tell. Has there been a major update to patchadd that I've missed or is there some other reason that I can't install this patch? Do I really need to remove it all before patching again? If so, how is that affected by 119788 which also patches SUNWppror?
Thanks for any help,
Sally.

Yes, there are relevant packages in that file;
server # grep SUNW gz*
# Last modified by <pkgadd> to <add> package <SUNWpkgcmdsu>
SUNWapch2d
SUNWapch2r
SUNWapch2u
SUNWexplo
SUNWexplu
SUNWexted

SUNWnbide
SUNWpkgcmdsu
SUNWppror
SUNWpprou
SUNWpsvrr
SUNWpsvru
SUNWsneep
server # Does this file get updated whenever patchadd/pkgadd -G is used? If so, I would've only installed the update connection proxy server patches on the global zone alone as it is not supported within local zones and I would've seen no reason to install it on a local zone (waste of time).
Also, when I was testing applying patches on zones, I would've run "patchadd -G" for some patches to see what the difference is, but I wouldn't have suspected that this would change the action of the patch forever more.
Or have these packages gotten in there another way.
Within one of my local zones, there are no SUNW packages in the /var/sadm/install/gz-only-packages file and yet the zone cannot remove the patch;
myzone # patchrm 121118-12

No patches to remove.
myzone #but I guess that is because it is checking on the global zone at that stage. On that point, does a local zone know the name of the server its global zone is on? Can this be determined without being on the global zone?
Thanks,
Sally.

Laptop broke down after installing kernel 3.0

My laptop died little after installing kernel 3.0 (the "linux" package). Details:
- Laptop model: ASUS K50AB-SX029L, it was exactly 2 years minus 10 days old (based on the purchase date); specifictions here.
- using cpufreq frequency scaling (ondemand) and the catalyst drivers for video - if this is useful.
- the laptop used to get heated when the ventilation became obstructed by dust; however, the sensors worked, it used to instantly shut down when it was intensely used and too hot in the room.
- after I installed linux-3.0, I noticed some error message early at boot time, something about "soft restart" or "soft reboot" and something about "device" (not configured, maybe) - I don't remember well.
How it happened: I installed kernel 3.0 yesterday, rebooted, then built/installed the AUR ATI drivers (catalyst-utils, catalyst, lib32-catalyst-utils), rebooted again and then I left it building an AUR package. When I came back to it, the desktop was frozen, I forced a shutdown using the power button and since then, every time I turn it on, it gets powered, the fan is spinning and the USB external drive starts, but nothing else happen - no display, no boot, no spinning HDD. I removed its CMOS battery, but the same.
Now, since too many possible factors coincide - I installed kernel 3.0 for the first time, laptop was 2 y.o., it was used somehow intensely along the time, its warranty was just expiring - it is of concern to me what happened, if possible to find out. I mention that it was 2 years old because another laptop left me down before, after the exactly same period of using Linux (Arch for like 4 months on that one), different model and different brand (Acer). What is of interest:
- someone else's laptop breaking down coincided with updating to kernel 3.0?
- someone else's laptop broke down after 2 years or similar of using Linux/Arch daily? Any difference in reliability compared to using other OSs?
- any insight in the reliability/durability of the notebook hardware in general (things that may not depend on the OS)? I mean if it was supposed to die anyway after 2 years of usage - which sounds too short to me, btw - maybe it was just a big coincidence that it happened right after linux 3.0 was installed. But there is a need for some arguments supporting this hypothesis, while searching the web comes with a lot of irrelevant or contradictory information.
- if the case, how could the malfunctioning/misconfiguration of the OSs in general, Linux in particular, damage the hardware? I think overheating is out of question when the sensors work, but I'm open to information on this subject.
- what data (logs, etc) could be relevant and how should I analyze it, after retrieving it off the dead laptop HDD?

My HP dv9000t mobo got fried exact 2 weeks after the warranty expired. Then fixing that, the wireless broke down, then the lcd got dead pixels. I think this is not a coincidence... Lenovo Thinkpad T series is what I went with after I gave up on the HP.
+1 on both. I had a kernel panic in my head this AM, too, but if you ask me it sounds suspiciously like a planned 2-year lifecycle on the products. Sack of middle fingers to the OEM retail products divisions.
Last night I had started compiling a kernel and was working on my thesis (which has nothing to do with computers besides using a word processor). Did a $ sudo pm-suspend and went to sleep when the machine finished compiling. This morning I'm at my desk with a multimeter and trying to find a local place that carries SATA to USB assembly.
BIOS won't come up, screen won't turn on, I'm definitely not getting to GRUB--pressing enter repeatedly and waiting does not lead to the hard disk thrashing at all. Yanked the battery, tested the adapter, cycled the power switch b/c I can't find the CMOS jumper and there's no repair manual for this thing. I realize I did leave a single USB fan and a USB light (turned off) plugged in during the suspend, but am having a hard time thinking that drawing power at USB spec (5V/100mA max) from USB could have done this especially with the A/C power source available. I'm not familiar with the actual suspend process, but a 5V rail is a 5V rail when it's got power, right?
I'm not going to start yanking individual components just yet, I actually want to get sh!t done today. The machine in question has a manufacture date of January 2009 stamped on the bottom.
Mfg Date: 2009/01/07
So two years, seven months and about three weeks of life. Even with a backup of mission-critical files from last week, this sucks--losing 60 hours of work is FTL. Fingers crossed that whatever zapped it didn't get to the disk. I'm still kinda shocked about all this. Get it? Shocked? Har har X-(
I'm not going to blame the 3.0 kernel though I was tempted. "But I didn't even install the new kernel... how can this be"? I thought maybe I blew up my processor or something by compiling, running libreoffice, VLC and firefox all at once... hardly. Bad timing on a new kernel, maybe, or I managed to piss off some DelHewlitSUSway god, or something. I've had battery/power issues on this machine almost since day one, but never any indication of impending doom.
I agree completely with the advice to get laptops from a "small business" or institutionally-oriented line, like Lenovo/IBM's Thinkpads, and even thought about Mac this morning, but don't have a trust fund. I'm writing this on a second-hand Thinkpad R series almost six years old. The LCD screen and/or cable are damaged, the disk spins at an underwhelming 4300 RPM or whatever and I have to keep the fan at max levels all the time but at least it f-cking boots up.
Sorry if this is a thread hijack, but if you can't get to BIOS you can't get to BIOS. After confirming it's not a video issue the only options are to yank all parts not necessary to booting up, clear the CMOS by finding the jumper or battery or trying to cycle power via the switch (for, like, 5 minutes), and reinstall parts one-by-one until replicating the issue. If you can't get that far, the mobo, BIOS or processor is probably nuked.

Missing dependency error while installing kernel-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 and yum-utils package

Hi Experts,
I'm not able to install the kernel in Oracle Linux using "Yum install". I'm getting error's while installing Kernel. The Kernel version is 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 (in the linux CD of virtual box) Can you please guide me how to proceed further.
I used the commands below :
wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
yum install kernel-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64
I'm getting so many errors saying "Error Missing Dependency libpq.so.4() 64bit" Error missing dependency libmysqlclient.so.15()64 bit
Please find screenshot below : http://imageshack.com/a/img30/33/kp5z.jpg
I searched through the net and tried using "yum clean all" and yum update etc.. but the problem is not resolved...
Please note I booted from a linux Oracle linux 6 bootable CD and trying to install Oracle Linux 6 kernel on my machine..
I tried installing "yum-utils" package too using the below command, but that too failed giving missing dependency errors..
Yum install yum-utils
I dont' know much about linux and stuck with the issues above for more than 30 days now... please help...
Regards Jags

You cannot use the yum utility to do a major version upgrade, such as upgrading from Oracle Linux 5 to Oracle Linux 6. Kernel version 2.6.32-358.el6 is the RHCK kernel and requires Oracle Linux 6. So if your attempt was to install a driver that works only for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 kernel, you will have to upgrade the OS first. For this you must start from the OL6 installation DVD, but upgrading between major release versions is not officially supported. You can however upgrade to the latest Oracle UEK kernel, by enabling the appropriate channel in the yum repository configuration file.
