Cannot create boot CD in 10.4.6

I bought Tiger some months ago and have been downloading upgrades so I am now on 10.4.6. The problem is that I cannot start up my computer using the Tiger installer disk. The computer starts but immediately wants to install Tiger.
I tried copying latest system onto a CD but the computer does not recognise it and reverts to starting from the hard disk.
Is there anyway (without buying Toast or DiskWarrrior) that I can create a bootable CD? I want to run some defrag and other utilities on my hard disk but can't do it if it is running the system.

As I recall, Tiger's installer is a little different from previous Mac OS X installers in that it gives you the "select a language" screen first. Once you've done that, you have the option to proceed with an installation, or go up to the Utilities menu to access Disk Utility to repair the disk's directory with Repair Disk, and its permissions. At last in Tiger, the permissions are repaired from the hard drive in question, and not from the preferences set on the CD itself. If for some reason you can't get to access the Utilities menu in the installer program at all, then the disc itself may be damaged and needs to be replaced by AppleCare.
Defragmentation in Mac OS X is not really necessary except for large files that the operating system can't do itself. For those who have files too large for operating system to defrag, I recommend partitioning, and using a scratch space to write those files to which can be erased with Disk Utility without touching the boot partition. Of course a clone and restore would be necessary to do this.
http://www.macmaps.com/bootcd.html
lists some methods others have found of being able to create boot discs. Though I'm not sure that any will do what you want.
My suggestion is to backup your data first anyway before attempting to use any disk utility:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Cause you never can know when the disk utility would damage the machine if there is a power outage or a failing drive.

  • Error while Creating Boot Media - SMS_Site.SubmitRegistrationRecord

    Hello,
    I am struggling to get some Boot Media created in SCCM 2012 R2. I import the correct .pfx Certificate and I am able to select the Management Point/s.
    My account has been given Role Based access to this SCCM instance. On our test SCCM instance I am a Full Administrator and do not get this problem creating Boot Media.
    Any advice please?

  • Cannot create file "/Applications/ " Permission denied.

    When installing new software Iget the following error message: "Cannot create file "/Applications/ ". Permission denied. I have used disk utilities to try to repair my permissions with no sucsess. I have also tried reinstaling the software. Any advise is appreciated.
    I am using Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and Safari 8.0.4

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

    I have LR 4 and now I cannot open the software because I get this warning: "light room cannot start because it cannot create files in the temp file location. C:\windows\temp\". I think I need to have LR open in a different place but I have no idea how to do that. Any help is most appreciated.

    Jim
    Thank you for your prompt reply. Unfortunately I am not that tech oriented and
    cannot easily find that folder. I did notice when I was booting up the LR software
    that I could accept the site where LR usually is set up or choose a place. I am
    thinking that the standard location for LR software is corrupted and that if I
    chose a different place it would work. I say this because whether I use my
    original disc or download from adobe I get the same warning. I have 100GB of
    memory on the hard drive and I have cleaned the computer with Mcaffee and free
    software. What should I do next? I can't use this software and I doubt LR 5
    would open up with my current problem.

  • Solaris 9 - INIT: Cannot create /var/adm/utmpx (System Hangs)

    Hello,
    I am unable to boot into solaris 9 after I did a init 0. I did init 0 because shutdown -y -g0 -i0 did not work.
    This is the error message I get
    Hardware watchdog enabled
    INIT: Cannot create /var/adm/utmpx
    INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" "
    INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" "
    INIT: SINGLE USER MODE
    Type control-d to proceed with normal startup,
    (or give root password for system maintenance):
    After it asks for the password it HANGS.
    I entered the password, but NOTHING HAPPENS.
    I can go into sc console though.
    I also rebooted using Solaris 9 cdrom in single user mode. Checked the filesystem using fsck, and no faults were found. I also tried creating a new /var/adm/utmpx file but that did not work too.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thank you,
    Jacob.

    Hello,
    Check for /var filesystem usage,if it is not mouted as seperate filesystem then check for "/" FS usage.
    There may be chances you get to have this problem if your FS is full.
    If everything normal then follow the below steps, which solved similar kind of issues in the past for me.
    Logon to the system and when you get prompt just run fsck on your root filesystem.
    Check /etc/vfstab file to ensure that you are running fsck on correct fs name.
    After completing fsck just say "reboot". The machine will boot normally.
    In b/w is this machine disks are mirrored?? if so then you may need to choose the disks carefully before you run fsck.
    thanks.

  • Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....

    Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....is there some trick I am missing or do I need to make an appointment with a genius...

    I have the MacIntosh volume and the Boot Camp partition only.  I know that when I installed Lion, I had to go through a whole back-up and recovery of Windows and then re-format the drive. 
    The tech at the Apple Store had a previous life as a MSCE and was very helpful.  I believe he even said that I should not have htis problem with Mountain Lion which is why they gave me the flash with it onboard.  I was in the process of starting a new job when I went to Lion, so I have waited to do this next and probably last upgrade to this old MBP since I doubt Apple will support this MBP in Maverick. 
    I do not have another installation, so that is not an option.  I will try to create an external, I have plenty of hard drives around and see if I can get it done that way.  It might take me a week or two to get back to it, but I will comment back upon completion of that effort.  Thanks for your help....Dave Iverson

  • START UP DISK AND CANNOT CREATE FILE

    hi!
    I've read about 10 posts and a million suggestions about cleaning up my start up disk cause it's full but nothing has worked yet... Many also recommened some apps to download to help erase things but, my computer isn't letting me download anything.. the downloads box thing says, "cannot create file" and I'm pretty sure it's saying that because of my start up disk being full.. I don't know much about computers but--- I mean, that makes sense, right? HELP HELP HELP. I've made sure my downloads are set to download to my desktop and yes it has the read/write option thing selected..etc etc.
    HELP!!!!

    Hello KaylaJ,
    You'll need to boot from another hard drive or system disk.
    If you have the original disks that came with the machine, stick it in the cd tray, close it and reboot holding c.
    Next you'll have to delete or move files to another hard drive, once it's copied over by drag and drop methods, delete the original on your boot drive to free up space.
    In fact I would take the precaution of backing up all your user data, iTunes folder, "User"/Library/Mail and "User"/Library/Safari folders. Leaving apps that you have the original install disks/sources and associated passwords.
    If you want to take a step further, you might as well erase the boot drive by selecting Disk Utility from the menu (c booted from the System Disk) and chose the option to Erase with Zero. (warning all data will be totally deleted). Come back after lunch and reinstall Tiger fresh, immediatly Software Update until clear and reinstall your apps from original sources (if all possible) and update.
    Then hook up the second hard drive and copy only security sensitive files into your User/Home. Leaving the bulk of files on the second drive. This leaves the boot drive rather light (keep under 50% filled) and Mac OS X will perform snappy.
    Also because you reinstalled totally, you optimized your boot drive and got rid of old garbage.
    Investigate how to clone your now perfect boot drive by visiting Carbon Copy Cloner forums, just in case something happens you can hold option and boot from a external drive.
    If this is too much for you, search Apple main page for "Macintosh User Groups" and find a person near you to help you set up a optimized and backup solution.

  • Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory

    Hi,
    running Calendar Server version 7. Two days ago we had a power failure and the system, running our Calendar Server (not on the no-break) 'crashed', or at least was unsolicitedly shut down. After booting, I had problems with my iCal client application on Apple to connect to the server. I get the error message:
    The calendar http://calserver.sonnection.nl:8080/cal/dav/principals/[email protected]/ was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct.
    Before the 'crash' this worked without a problem. However, there are no errors in the commands and calendar log files (during a connection attempt from within iCal):

    We ran an strace on the createdisk command that is failing and I noticed this in the output file:

    28830 write(2, "Unable to create ASM disk \"ASMDI"..., 56) = 56
    We changed /dev/oracleasm/disks to 777 in order to test but we got the same result. Do we need to adjust the permissions to all of the parent directories in the path (/dev/oracleasm/disks)? I've been looking around for anything related to permissions on /dev/oracleasm but the docs don't mention anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    From what I understand, you should not set device permissions of /dev/oracleasm since oracleasm takes care of it according to /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure.
    The problem in your case seems to be that ASM refuses to initialize and write metadata to your device. Was the device previously used by ASM? ASM will fail to initialize a device that contains previous ASM metadata. To erase the device you will need to use the dd command, e.g. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb. Both ASMLib and raw devices require the candidate disks to be partitioned before they can be accessed. To create a partition on /dev/sdb, for instance, type fdisk /dev/sdb and create a standard partition using the defaults. This will create /dev/sdb1 and you can try oracleasm createdisk again.
    You may try the above, but anyway, I was not sure how much you can trust your installation. The problem could also be that you installed the oracleasm kernel driver and asmlib software for OEL 5. Oracle Linux 6 includes an oracleasm kernel driver and as far as I remember you must not install another oracleasm kernel driver. Using modprob oracleasm and installing oracleasm support package using yum should do the trick. You may also need to download and install the asmlib package for the Oracle ASM grid install to see the ASM disks.

  • Cannot create tape device

    Hi, maybe someone can help me?
    My tape device /dev/rmt/0n was 20Gb in size even though it had no tape in it, after a failed backup.
    This was after filling up my hard-drive to 100% capacity, so I decided to delete /dev/rmt/0n and recreate using "devfsadm" or "boot -r" but neither of these commands worked!
    Now I cannot connect the tape drive at all as I cannot create /dev/rmt/0n.
    Does anybody know how this can be fixed?
    Thanks

    My tape device /dev/rmt/0n was 20Gb in size even
    though it had no tape in it, after a failed backup.Sound like you mis-specified the destination of your backup and it literally went to a file "/dev/rmt/0n" (overwriting your device file) instead of to tape.
    Please run 'drvconfig' then 'tapes'. (Or do a reconfiguration reboot.) This should recreate your device name.

  • HT201316 cannot create recovery system

    Trying to upgrade from 10.6.8 to mountain lion. While it is installing an error message appears stating that it cannot create a recovery disc for mountain lion and then stops and reverts back to 10.6.8

    I have got the same problem as talbotshort.  I apologise for sounding dumb, but how can I boot Mountain Lion from my Snow Leopard installer? Do I need the disk to get the Snow Leopard installer?
    I hope you can help me, thanks.

  • Time Capsule 4 gen. with iMac OS X Lion   3 Windows PC (XP OS, Vista OS, Seven OS) cable modem with TC as Wi-Fi. Time Machine on iMac found TC for backup easily. Have Wi-Fi access on PC XP with Airport utility but cannot create TC.

    Installed today Time Capsule 4 gen. with iMac OS X Lion. I also have  3 Windows PC (XP OS, Vista OS, Seven OS). Internet Access is cable modem with TC as Wi-Fi. Time Machine on iMac found TC for backup easily. Have Wi-Fi access on PC XP with Airport utility but cannot create TC. Does the Airport utility under Windows is way to access backup capabilities with TC ?

    The TC is really just an external networked hard disk plus router.. you can access the hard disk and place files on it from any computer. You can backup any computer to the TC but it will have to use a backup software in windows.. there are literally thousands available. The built in msbackup is horrible.. but you can download lots of different software and buy then online for not a lot. Macrium Reflect has a free disk image backup, and when you pay for it includes incremental. I think disk images are well worth it, as they recover much better.. and their is a proper method of recovery using a boot cd.
    BTW the TC space is not endless. And it is designed to hold a large number of incremental backups.. so anything you do in backing up several machines will make the number of backups limited. Remember you can also use a usb hard disk plugged in as a Network accessible disk. But it has to be formatted HFS+ or Fat32.. the later being highly undesirable.
