Cloned volume gets stuck at boot "Waiting for Network File System"
I've used "Carbon Copy Cloner" many times with success and no problems (v 2.3 , default settings, make destination bootable) as I migrated to larger drives or make backups in advance of a major OS upgrade.
Last time I was successful, I was at OS 10.3.5. I use 3rd drive to boot my Mac, then clone the one non-boot drive to the other. I do the disk repairs & permission repairs as the normal course of this process, before & after. I am now at 10.3.9. I am do this clone in prep to go to 10.4 so I have a good back in the event of later problems.
When I attempt to boot from the newly cloned partition, it goes fine on the boot process until it hangs at the "Waiting for Network File System" step and never gets past there. I've never had this happen before. I retired all the steps, even ran "Diskwarrier", but no change.
I am not trying to run from a remote or network drive, just a 2nd drive in my
G4 from which I have previously been able to boot (until this last clone attempt that is).
I googled the symptoms ""Waiting for Network File System"", found it to be common, but no real answers. Is this one of those annoying UNIX things? Any ideas how to fix / turn-off whatever is hanging the boot up? Thanks in advance!
Hi Kool,
So there seems to be a "speed-bump" around 10.3.9. No wonder I have had the same results with a different tint. I went to Drive Genius to clone this one. Results with that were interesting.
If I did a [Device] clone, it would take and show at start with 'option' key... and work just like my internal with 3 accounts on it... login and proceed like it was internal. If I did a [Volume] clone, it would not show up at start with the 'option' key... I'd have to boot it from System Preferences > Start-up Drive. Once booted, it had no login screen so all the files were accessible. I took the clone of this 3 account PB and tried it on an iBook. Had to boot from System Preferences too, also, all the account were accessible from that machine... implying that anyone who had that drive could get past/into my files that would be secure on my computer, but not on the clone. If I took the [Device] clone and booted from the ibook at start with the option key, it would not get past the login screen... altho the mouse worked and I could click on the name, that was as far as it got, Froze.
So, I have figured, for safety, a [Device] clone is it, as long as the original computer lives. The safety features for login seem to be hardwired in the chip that the clone was made from (The iBook had 2 accounts but not my 3). If safety is not an issue, the [Volume] clone is fine... like moving to a newer OS on the same computer. It would seem from your experimentations that the situations with this 10.3.9 is just a hick-up and is solved in 10.4.3 with CCC v3...
Thanks for your info... I am thinking of going to Tiger, but I am so fond of this Panther...

In Windows Event long I can see the following events logged:
Event 3002, Port Map:
Windows(R) failed a request to register RPC Port Mapper on TCP port 111. RPC Port Mapper cannot start.
Network File System (NFS) clients use RPC Port Mapper (also known as Portmap and Rpcbind) to discover NFS protocols on remote servers. Without RPC Port Mapper, Server for NFS
cannot start and NFS clients cannot access files on this server.
Verify that no other software is registered on TCP port 111, then start Server for NFS manually (which will also start RPC Port Mapper).
Event 7000, Service Control Manager:
The Server for NFS Open RPC (ONCRPC) Portmapper service failed to start due to the following error:
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
Event 7001, Service Control Manager:
The Server for NFS Driver service depends on the Server for NFS Open RPC (ONCRPC) Portmapper service which failed to start because of the following error:
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
Event 7001, Service Control Manager:
The Server for NFS service depends on the Server for NFS Driver service which failed to start because of the following error:
The dependency service or group failed to start.
Based on a technet forum I have already checked and made sure there is no other service running on port 111 (command used is netstat -a -b -o).
Dependent Service Status:
During the installation process “Client for NFS” seems to have gone well and the service started successfully. But the “Server for NFS” failed, when checked for the status of the dependent process “portmap” service failed to start with the WIN32_EXIT_CODE
“31 (0x1f)”. Please find below the query result.

As the EXIT CODE is 31 ( A device attached to the system is not functioning), I have checked device manager and made sure there is no yellow warning shown against any hardware device. Further I am not sure how to proceed and debug this issue.
Please let me know if you have any suggestion on how debug this issue further.
Thanks

My solution was to run netstat -ano to identify what process was running on port TCP/UDP :111, then with the command tasklist I got PID matching with the task name. Once identified I stopped the process, rebooted and installed
the NFS service. On top of that, before installing NFS services I disabled firewall and antivirus. It worked fine for me. I hope this will be usefull for you. By the way, don't forget to enable all process back!
Have a good one! -
Package deployment keeps getting stuck with message 'Waiting for another program'
Hi, I just started working on SCCM. We have an Orchestrator runbook which creates a collection and then creates an advertisement for packages and task sequences. I was able to get a task sequence and a package successfully execute. When
creating the advertisement, I set it to RERUN_ALWAYS. However, the next time I ran our runbook which creates the collection andadvertisement (I manually deleted the previous one), it does create them but the deployment is stuck to In Progres with the
Description of 'Waiting for another program'. This just happens for packages before and not for task sequences the other day but now, it's the same issue whether I use a package or a task sequence.
I see this in execmgr.log:

can anyone help me fix this issue. It is particularly annoying having lost all the music I have on my phone when all I do is listen to music.
Version 11.1.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

Waiting for network services...
My ATV2 is online, it connected to my network, and all the movie thumbnails and such are displayed. It won't connect to the iTunes store, says that the Apple ID or password aren't recognized. Gets stuck on "Waiting for network services..." on Netflix. When attempting a restore downloads "the latest update" and looks like it's doing what it should but then displays "The update was not successful." Resets don't help, as it gets stuck on the "Waiting for network services..." Anyone having similar problems?
I had the same problem. I just wanted to stream content from Netflix for starters, no bothering with iTunes on a PC, but the aTV2 would be stuck "Waiting for network services". Checking my settings and my router reflected a good WiFi connection, DHCP address assigned, etc. Internet radio worked fine, as did photo screen saver from FlickR.
Attempting to log in to iTunes gave an incorrect password error -- a lamentably bad error since the password was correct.
No joy on Netflix login.
No joy on YouTube. Which is puzzling since port 80 is open. (I wonder if the aTV2 is calling home to Apple even if you are just using Netflix or YouTube.)
All of this is a major annoyance as you have to keep entering your accounts and passwords from scratch over and over with the silly remote control and alphanumeric entry control.
I suspected AppleTV was trying to connect to its services on the internet on some ports my router firewall was blocking, but there is no discoverable, comprehensive, or accurate Apple documentation to indicate what ports those are. I tried opening TCP:3689 with no improvement.
As a last try, I opened every outbound port for the aTV2. (That is not going to be acceptable in the long term. We run a tight network security ship here.) It still didn't work. "Waiting for network services...". Hmph! I powered cycled the aTV2. After it rebooted, it works fine with Netflix and Youtube. No "Waiting..."
It is lamentable that aTV2 setup and/or network test doesn't report what ports it is failing to connect on. Bad bad OOBE Apple! XBOX 360 for example gives much more useful network config assistance. -
My Blackberry z10 , Stuck at %99 Boot , and my Mac OSX doesn't recognize it?. i have latest Blackberry Link Version
The funniest part of the whole situation, Apple Care explained it to me as some kind of feature. The told me how to adjust the time when my computer sleeps and recommend I don't shut it down, let it sleep and "instant wake". I would bet if you called them about your Macbook, they would suggest you just close the lid and let it sleep rather than shutting it down.
Basically shutdown and restart have a problem and the solution is to not shutdown is how they explained it to me. They kept saying buzz words like "instant on" and "fast wakeup". My computer already could sleep and wakeup fast, but now shutdown and restart don't work right. I called them 3 times about it, but since they use these buzzwords, sounds like Lion is meant for a Macbook Air or a Mac with an SSD. If you have a normal hard disk, some of the saving/versions/resume features take too long to be written to the disk on shutdown. And when you start again, it takes a long time to reload the system to it's previous point.
Even if I uncheck the box to reopen windows on next start, it reopens them anyways.
If they can't give me a better explaination or some kind of fix, I will have to go back to Snow Leopard. I use my Mac in a production environment and depend on stability. They assured me before I upgraded that it would be stable and all the new saving and versions features could help my productivity. So far it's not helping me and downright annoying. You need to close all your windows before you close the program... if you have 5 windows open in terminal or textedit... every time you launch, they will launch all those windows. I just really want versions, not resume it seems.
But I can deal with it opening a million windows, just can't take it getting stuck on booting or not shutting down properly. This is a "feature" that should be fixed. LOL -
I dropped my iPhone on the ground, and as I went to pick it up, I started to swear under my breath as I realized my iPhone was in recovery mode. I'm like "how would an iPhone be this sensitive -_-," and so as my iPhone's docked unto my laptop, and with relentless attempts to restore my iPhone, I always find iTunes stuck at the "Waiting For iPhone" stage and I honestly have no clue what to do at this point. What should I do to bypass this or fix this problem? Or do I just wait? -_-
Nothing except that when I turn it on, there's a USB cable and an iTunes logo above it, indicating that it's in recovery mode.

I get an error message "waiting for activation" while trying to turn on imessage
I had to reset my Apple ID password. After doing this i now have to log back into everything that requires an Apple ID to operate on my 5C. I dont currently have cell coverage as im traveling in Italy for work and don't have international coverage. Is there a way for Imessage to verify my new AppleID password without recieving an SMS from Verizon. My phone is currently in Airplane mode with date and all roaming shut off to keep from getting an expensive charge. I have Wifi through a hot spot i carry with me but the Imessage gives an error message saying "waiting for activation" From everything i have found i guess it's waiting for network (Verizon) verification. Back to my question, is there a way to have Imessage verify my new Apple ID password over wifi using my email address instead of carrier verification? This seems to have worked for Facetime but i know facetime only uses Wifi.
Hey Andrew,
That is interesting issue. If you are still not activated with iMessage, then you will probably need to turn your cellular data on so it can be linked with your phone number. Go over the article below to walk you through some general troubleshooting to get it going.

IBook G3 will not boot! Hangs at "Waiting for Apple Files"
My iBook g3 will not boot past the "Waiting for Apple Files", Blue screen. I have tried everything from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107210 to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214. I only have a Panther OSX 10.3 Update CD. Someone please help me!
Mark:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I am not sure why you tried replacing the NetInfo database, or what effect that may have or have had on your startup. Here is where I would start:
Reset PRAM and Safe Boot
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
6. Release the keys.
7. Immediately hold down the "Shift" key until grey apple appears. This will make the computer start up in Safe Mode
8. Log in and empty Trash if needed.
9. Restart normally and log in.
Please post back with update or further questions.
Good luck.

I thought I had set up Apple TV correctly, and paired it with my silver remote it came with, but whenever I turn it on now, the screen says "Waiting for network time". Has anyone else had this issue? I can't seem to find the answer online or in the manual of how to correct this.
The "menu+down" reset did not help. It rebooted the Apple TV, but upon reboot it displayed the same message.
Taking the device away from the hotel and to my in-laws house let me use it just fine while there. It recognized that it didn't have a network connection and I was able to tell it to join the WiFI and give it a password. I hoped at that point that when I took it back to the hotel that night it would have forgotten all about the hotel WiFi and let me configure it to join the ad-hoc network from the laptop. But no luck. The Apple TV still remembered the hotel WiFi and got stuck again.
I guess the only way to make it forget a network once it's joined is the "restore" option, which reverts it to factory settings (meaning you'd have to re-apply the firmware update). I haven't done that yet, though I ought to while I'm at home and the thing is working, so I don't forget next time we take a trip to a Hampton inn and have it mess up again.
It seems there ought to be a way to make it "forget" WiFi networks, like the iPad and Macs can. Of course it shouldn't get itself into a state where the remote doesn't function and the settings menu produces errors either. -
Apple TV 2 Waiting for network services, unable to sign in to iTunes store
Received my Apple TV yesterday.
It is connected to my network (I have tried wired and wireless).
I can view movie previews and Podcasts.
I cannot sign in to the iTunes Store (therefore cant rent movies), cannot view Youtube videos (No content available), cannot use Netflix (Waiting for network services when I try).
I spoke to Apple support, they couldn't help. They say the problem is with my network or my ISP.
I have a Linksys WRT160N router, on which I have tried disabling the firewall.
My ISP is Telus, I am on their Fibre Optic network in BC. I wonder if Telus are blocking Apple TV?
Anyone else experiencing this?
Message was edited by: gbcecanada
Message was edited by: gbcecanadaI received my Apple TV yesterday.
I am running cable internet with 10Mbps constant.
So I connected it up and proceeded to issue after issue. I could not log into my Apple account. It was stating that my name or password was incorrect.
When I would start the unit it would stay at the waiting for network connections screen for several minutes!
I did all the tricks of turning the apple of and back on, NO FIX.
I tried to update the software, and I recieved a message that stated I have the most updated software, so....NO FIX
I did a full restore. The Apple TV downloaded the newest software and rebooted after about 7 minutes, NO FIX
I logged into my router and opened all ports, added ports 80 and 123, NO FIX
I also disabled my entire firewall on my router and turned off the WEP security feature...and what would you guess.....NO F I X!!
So I logged back into my router and reset all my original settings...still NO FIX.
SO here is the good part...Apparently the system has to connect to time.apple.com and get updated...it's sort of like a verification of the system.
So after it updated everything worked great! No unable to sign into my account. NO waiting on network connections anymore.
So the biggest advice I can give, especially after my 3 hours of gradually wasting my time until I almost threw the unit out my bedroom window, is connect it to your WIFI system and let it sit by itself for a few hours and let it connect to the Apple server.
Hope this helps everyone that, at some point, has shared my pain and frustration. -
Can't export as Html (Waiting for all files to be ready...)
Made a bunch of updates last night to a client site. Everything looks great except I can't export as Html. Had my sister try to export on her computer and we both get to 87%, then it permanently stalls, saying "Waiting for all files to be ready" (See screenshots). We've ensured that no files are open or being previewed. We've rebooted and tried saving to a different location, all with no change, we still get to the 87% mark and stop. Please help. I have a client waiting for this site update.
Details:
Windows 7
Sony Vaio
Muse Version - 4.1 Build 8 *see screenshot
****Update:
I can preview the entire site in a browser as well as preview each page individually, but cannot finish a html export past 87%.Odd are if you wait long enough, potentially a few hours, it will complete.
This huge performance hit sounds exactly like a bug that's fixed for the Muse CC 5.0 release due out next week. Sorry for the inconvenience.
