Complete System Failure, disk not working to back up!!!

Hi world of Apple,
I have had a major (well at least I think it is major) problem today.  I shall summarise below and then hopefully someone will be able to assist.
Here goes:
This week I bought a Time Capsule.  This has been linked to my G4 PB (10.5.4) and my PPC iMac G5 (10.5.4) via Ethernet so that I can do my first back up.  At the moment it is still linked as the problem I have occurred whilst I was working with TC to centralize my music and photos.  the TC has worked as advertised thus far.
I followed the apple direction to move my itunes folder from my iMac to the TC.  No problems.  I did this also for my PB.  Again, this worked OK.
I then looked on the discussions for how to merge my iPhoto libraries (PB and iMac).  I downloaded iPhoto Library Manger from Fat Cat software and installed.
Following the instructions, I attempted to merge the 2 libraries.  During the merge, iphoto quit.  I tried again and an on screen message told me that I had to turn off the computer (iMac) as OS X has quit unexpectedly.  I tried to restart and then the problems really started to happen.
On restart, the fans went mad.  I turned of and tried to reset the PRAM.  No joy, fans still loud and getting no further than the gray start up screen.
I tried to reset the SMU and again no result.
I tried to insert the OS disc and start from that but i couldn't insert it as the computer was off.  So I started and inserted as the gray screen came on and as soon as the fans went crazy, turned off.
I restarted, holding C key.  This time the screen showed a tiny flashing finder folder that alternated with another thing. I had to reset the mouse and eventually i got to the OS X installer and tried to start from the start disc in the utility menu.  No good, failed.
I tried starting from a TM back up but the system spent ages calculating the size required.  I assumed it had frozen and went back.
So, I tried a system restore using the OS disc.  This was tried at least twice and on each occasion the dialogue box told me that the source media was damaged and that I should select and alternative.  I have only used the disc once on the inital update, I can't believe it is broken.  in fact, I have had a look at some of the discussion posts and it seems I am not the only one.
I have now attempted to go for a TM back up again.  It is taking an age but seems to be working.
does anyone have any suggestions to what went wrong, how I should do things differently etc. I'm really concerned that the whole thing is broken.
I would be really grateful.
thanks
Rob

Time machine worked and system seems ok. Unsure as to why source disc says damaged though.

System Recovery is not working From HP Recovery Manager. so i cant restore my laptop to its original factory condition. (Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium).
so when i restart my computer and press Esc and then choose F11 i get this message :
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the
cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."

Had the C partition been split/shrunk to form a new partition previously?
Does disk management show the HDD as basic or dynamic? (Start>Right-click Computer>Manage>disk management on the left).
If it has been switched to dynamic (Windows does this automatically when more than 4 partitions are present on the disk), then the F11 recovery partition won't function until it is restored to basic, but I would like to confirm that is the scenario before providing those steps.
The Disk management shows that my HDD as Dynamic, what should i do then if this is the case and the possible solution to my problem?
please help me & Thank you for your time,
This question was solved.

If you have more than 4 partitions you will need to delete the extra partition/partitions, then convert the hdd back to Basic.

System restore is not working

System restore is not working for my Itouch. I am getting a picture of a white cord and and arrow pointing to Itunes logo... any suggestions?

It sounds like there is definitely a system problem. The whole OS seems to be messed up.
Do you have an MS Windows 7 disk?
In such case you could start the Windows 7 Startup Repair process using the MS Win 7 disk.
Boot from Win 7 disk, after the temporal files has been load, you should get and window where you could choose between the OS installation and other options. The second option called Repair you Computer is the one which would be needed to get the system repaired.
Then wait for System Recovery Options to locate Windows 7 on the HDD.
Then choose the Windows 7 installation and then the next window should appear providing the option to repair the system Startup Repair
But in case this workaround would not help you, the system should be reinstalled once again using Toshiba Recovery disk

System Recovery disks not installing on new SDD drive

Hi
I have upgraded from the original HDD drive to SDD drive.
I firstly cloned the old drive and installed the image but then windows updates would not work.
Looking at all forums and tried everything I read but updates still didn't work.
Finally formatted the drive and then used the original system restore disks that work fine on the old hard drive but Windows end up retsarting continuously after all 3 disks installed .
It is trying to finish off the installation but then gets and error and restarts and just loops over and over.
Is it something to do with the 4 k sectors?
Do I need other drivers?
How do I factory re-install my Windows 7 on the new SSHD drive?
Thanks

Hi
> Finally formatted the drive and then used the original system restore disks that work fine on the old hard drive but Windows end up restarting continuously after all 3 disks installed
Usually the Toshiba Recovery disks should install the Toshiba image on the new HDD or SSD drive and the unit should boot properly.
To be honest, Im not quite sure why the notebook keeps restarting after the installation.
But I assume it has something to do with the partitions and partitions sizes.
Fact is that Toshiba recovery disks would format the HDD (or SSD) and would create the same partitions and partitions sizes.
In case the system installation would not function using the Recovery disks, I would recommend you trying to install the system using the Microsoft clean Windows CD. The essential drivers could be downloaded from Toshiba EU driver page.

You need to get some software that allows your Mac to read and write to the NTFS disk. There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, but this program has a good review, and you can try it for free. I would move everything off of your external drive, reformat it into Mac OSX extended, and use it for your Mac. You don't need NTFS anymore, unless you still have a Windows computer that needs it.

BDC is not working in back ground

Hi all,
I have created bdc for F-51 but it is not working in back ground (mod N) and it is not showing any error in error tab , but it is working fine in mod A & E .I tried with mod P and using CTU_PARAMS but no use..
I have tested my recording in SHDB , in SHDB I have assigned session ,
And I executed that session in SM35 .
In SM35 I given processing mod foreground and error mod both are working fine but while trying in Background mod it is showing below error
u201CThe difference is too large for clearingu201D
How can I resolve this problem?

Hi Rakhi,
The error which you are getting u201CThe difference is too large for clearingu201D will come if the DEBIT AMT - CREDIT AMT <> 0. So the document which you are trying to select is either not there on the list or it is not getting selected while running in background. If it is not getting selected them the reason may be of you screen resolution, have you selected Default Size while recording ? and have you passed the same to CTU_PARAMS.
Thanks & Regards,
Faheem.

Systems preferences does not work

My Systems Preferences does not work, either reminders and messages... since Mavericks(10.9) Programs do not respond and Macbook air is not responding.... Help.....

Well, you are certainly correct that the fact that the "wired" machines work sure doesn't rule out a faulty router....But that's why (as part of a process of elimination troubleshooting scheme) I hooked up my old Linksys Router, and got the same results. Now...What are the odds of 2 separate routers acting the same way? Especially when both worked fine on my TIPB and even on my MBP until a few months ago. Plus, my 12 year old son can pull a wireless signal from the router on his console games (xbox360, Wii, PS3) with no problem
Believe me, my first thought was to go out and buy another router, but when I swapped routers and got the same problem, I began to look elsewhere, eventually coming here for help and knowledge.
I did the SMC reset to no avail. I'm not sure about the stuff in System Configuration....By "pull" do you mean to delete all the files in this folder? Move them to a temporary folder? Should I just deal with the folders that have "IP" in the "bundle" file name?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[SOLVED] Suspend to ram / disk not working in newer kernels

Hi all,
this puzzles me for a while:
My desktop system was able to suspend to ram / disk flawlessly in older kernels. It stopped working with 3.3. The suspend seems to work, the machine goes to standby. But when I try to resume, the machines is on but the screen stays black. Neither the console is working nor can I ssh into it. Only hard reset gets me out here
I did investigate and found many tips and hints which all led to nowhere. I even changed my filesystem back from btrfs to ext4 and my VGA module from proprietary nvidia to nouveau.
When this all failed I got to the idea to burn several install disks. One of the official 2011.08.19 (kernel 3.0.3) and one of the snapshots 2012.06.05_04-00-01 (kernel 3.3.7) and 2012.07.17_04-00-01 (kernel 3.4.4). I guess these can not be compromised by some hosed installation. I started one by one and issued the follwing command:
echo mem > /sys/power/state
which suspends the machine successfully in all three cases. With 2011.08.19 the resume is working but the other two fail. Some more info about the hardware:

This seems to be a kernel bug. Any input?

Another life-sign. The issue is still unsolved but I've come a little further. It seems to be a combination of more failures. The first one is USB hardware. I have a usb keyboard-mouse combo from Logitech (comfort cordless desktop). The USB bus does not wake up correctly when resuming from suspend. So my keyboard is unsuable. I put in a file /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd with the following content:
BUSES="0000:00:1a.7 0000:00:1d.7"
case "${1}" in
hibernate|suspend)
# Switch USB buses off
for bus in $BUSES; do
echo -n $bus | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
done
resume|thaw)
# Switch USB buses back on
for bus in $BUSES; do
echo -n $bus | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind
done
esac
The bus IDs were taken from /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd
When I start pm-suspend from a console (no X started) this seems to reanimate my keyboard while the screen stays black (with backlight on). I can type and reboot. Also I can ssh into the machine from my laptop.
Concerning the blank screen there seems to be a bug in both the proprietary nvidia modules as well as the nouveau driver. The nvidia folks have issued a new beta driver which seems to at least minimize the failures. This all concerns the nv50-family of nvidias cards. I have a GF8600GT which is one of these
I'll wait for this driver and then restart my testing. Until then - no suspend/hibernate
EDIT: Today's nvidia 304.32 is solving my issues - I can sleep again

System Audio Is Not Working: Error AppleLegacyAudio/AppleTexas2Audio.cpp

Hello,
I noticed last night that my audio has stopped working, both input and output. After checking the system log, this is the message that is repeated numerous times:
*Nov 19 13:04:03 sylvesters-powerbook-g4-17 kernel[0]: ^PSound assertion "0 != err" failed in "AppleLegacyAudio/AppleTexas2Audio/AppleTexas2Audio.cpp" at line 2703 goto Exit
Is the reason the audio is not working simply a matter of a missing file or do I need to completely reinstall the OS? I have a back up that I can quickly copy files from.
Thank you very much.

Hello,
Try deleting this file: com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that .plist file from the Preferences folder to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. See if your audio works as it should. If not... might want to do an Archive and Install:
Reinstalling Mac OS X
Under some circumstances, you may need to reinstall Mac OS X. You can reinstall Mac OS X while keeping your files and user settings intact.
Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon.
Follow the onscreen instructions. In the panel where you select the destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk (in most cases, it will be the only one available).
Click Options. *If you want to save your existing files, users, and network settings, select "Archive and Install," then select "Preserve Users and Network Settings.*" If you want to erase everything on your computer and reinstall Mac OS X, select "Erase and Install." You can't recover erased data.
Click Continue.
Click Customize to select which parts of Mac OS X you'd like to install, or click Install to perform a basic installation (recommended).
If you purchased a standalone version of Mac OS X, these installation instructions are in a booklet included with Mac OS X.
If you need to reinstall the version of Mac OS X that was on your computer when you purchased it, or if you need to restore all the software on your computer, including Apple, bundled third-party applications, and printer drivers, instructions are in the manual that came with your computer.

Recovery Disks Not Working - Windows 8

Hi,
This relates to my G6-2240sa HP Pavilion, bought 14 months ago, preinstalled with Windows 8 (later upgraded to 8.1)
Just out of curiosity I installed Linux Mint, hoping to dual-boot my system.
In the process I have wiped out everything on my HD.
I didn't mind that so much, as a fresh install of Windows 8 would have been welcome.
But now I find that the recovery disks (4) that I created are not working.
Whichever of the three options I choose (and I have tried them all) the process grinds to a halt, becoming unresponsive at anything from 7% to a max of 34% on the second disk. Then I am confronted with "The destination Drive is not Connected"
(I presume it means my hard drive. What on earth had it been doing for three hours, to suddenly discover that?)
I have run the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI thorough disk test and it comes up as Long DST: Passed, Memory Quick Test: Passed.
Started the recovery process from the bios defaults, using the optical drive as the first boot device, which only managed to reach a max of 17% before freezing. Strangely, the better results of 34% came from using a USB external DVD)
I have been through most of the other posts on here to find a solution, but none of them seem to apply to my specific problem.
Took it back to PC World, where I was informed that my best bet would be to buy a set of Recovery disks for my Model, Serial number, Product ID, obtainable from the Netherlands at a cost of £42, and I am waiting for them to arrive now.
Now I'm wondering, at the risk of throwing good money after bad, would it make more sense to buy new Windows 8 software or a different computer?
Surely having paid for a system that claims to offer security in the form of a recovery procedure, I am entitled that it should work as claimed.
After more than a week I'm at my wits end as I cannot use any of my programs without a Windows platform.

Success!
Although I have to say that with a poplation of over 7 billion I did think that my problem would have attracted more response than just one reply.
However, my thanks to Indypat for that. You gave me the hope to keep trying.
I read your solution from your link Pat, removed the SSD (taping the bare connectors, just in case), did all the other things suggested and tried again. Twenty more times! Still no go.
Was just surfing the net to find the cheapest OEM to buy, when the mailman (We call them postmen) arrived at last with the recovery disks I had ordered.
Started the process at 10 am ( I think I had to replace the SSD first to authorize the process) and by 4 pm recovery was complete! So my conclusions are that the recovery disks I made, did not work. Don't ask me why - I made them all according to the instructions - maybe the medium was faulty?
Now, (and for the foreseeable future as far as I can see) I shall continue updating Windows and reinstalling all my precious programs.
Still, after two weeks' cast into the outer darkness, at least I have clean Windows.
I'm glad you got your own problem sorted at last Pat. Like yourself, I am an HP fan. (again)

Plug-in Failure (Flash not working in Safari but working in Chrome)

Hi There,
I realise there have been threads on this subject but I seem to have tried everything besides re-installing ML at this stage.
When loading any flash content on any website within Safari - I receive a 'Plug-in Failure' message where the content should appear.
I feel the problem has been occurring since downloading the newest update
I was hoping someone could point out if I had missed out on something
Here are the steps I have taken to attempt to resolve this...
1. Uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of Flash. (This actually did work once for about a half an hour, i've tried it about half a dozen times)
1a. Turning my computer off and on again
1b. Attempted downgrading my Flash version but the flash installer kept failing.
2. Logged into a guest account (Flash didn't work in safari)
3. Booted up in Safe Mode (Flash worked but very slowly)
4. Reset Safari (Flash didn't work)
5. Disabled Extensions (Flash didn't work)
6. Enabled Plug-ins & Java within Safari (Flash didn't work)
7. Removed plug ins that I believed may be effecting it (Flip4Mac) (Flash didn't work)
8. Deleted all data in the pref pane for Flash (Flash didn't work)
9. Removed all website data within Safari (Flash didn't work)
10. Tested Firefox and flash is also not working in firefox.
The console is showing the following Pluginprocess crash:

The above crash log is repeated several times. (there's more to the log but i thought i'd just paste in the above)
Desparate to resolve this - chrome is so ugly and buggy! (Not to mention so Google)
Thanks in advance!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Complete System Failure, disk not working to back up!!!
