Corrupt system Utilities

System profiler wont open, nor Printer Setup Utility, and various other utilities. How can I solve this? i have recently done a system re-install
[tried 10.4 Tiger, which caused me so many problems - Ive gone back to panther] and now Ive got all these utilities that wont launch. It also seems to have affected my Lacie carte Orange - which i cannot mount on the desktop.
the Disk Utility opens okay, and i have run a permissins repair but still wont mount.
God I mis the IT department since Ive gone freelance!!!

Welcome To Discussions cdanield!
"[tried 10.4 Tiger, which caused me so many
problems - Ive gone back to panther]"
What steps did you take, to go back to
Panther?
ali b
Im afraid all I did was to re-install from the Panther disk. I ended up saving old system to archive and doing a fresh install - but not keeping my users/passwords.
Was I meant to do some kind of uninstall?
Im so useless at all this. Ive worked on Macs for years, but always had an IT dept. Nw im freelancing, Im scared wit-less of it all!
If I dont get any answers here, my next step was to back everything up, and wipe the HD and do a fresh install again - then re-install every bit of software I have again.
Please help. Ive got a mountain of work, and now Im not sleeping at night through worry!

System Utilities Check: Check system for make, ld, ar and cc

Can someone help me with this following problem?
While installing 11i applications, its giving an error "System Utilities Check: Check system for make, ld, ar and cc" When I checked for these files, all the files are existing except for ld. How do I resolve this problem?

Hi,
I hope the installation u r doing is on Windows platform. COpy ld,ar,cc,link,which utilities r under ur winnt\system32. Try to reinstall. & also in the path ensure that ur winnt\system32 & winnt r at the last. It will work. I hope this helps u.

What system utilities do you recommend?

Hi,
I am a new switcher to Mac.
Can you please recommend what system utilities I should purchase and which brand I should purchase.
The ones I want are :
1) I need an anti-virus program (I know there are no real problems on the Mac with virus's, but it is better to be safe than sorry!)
2) A firewall. (Is the one that comes with Mac OS X good enough or should I use a commerical one?
3) A Backup program
4) A Disk utility program
5) A general system utility program for system maintenance
I would be really grateful if you experienced Mac users could give me advice on this matter.
Thank you for your help. I look forward to your responses.

Hi, Lucky Luxy.
Here are my recommendations, in order corresponding to your list:
1. re: Anti-virus: See my "Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware" FAQ for my recommendations as well as a list of some recent Mac OS X security threats that have emerged, including Trojans, rootkits, and spyware. The FAQ also addresses some of the usual arguments against installing an anti-virus solution on a Mac that often arise in discussions of this topic.
While some believe that anti-virus solutions are not required on a Mac, I feel that's ignoring the fact that threats are emerging and that security exposures continue to be found, albeit eventually closed, in Mac OS X, as in any other operating system. Even Apple now recommends that one should "check for viruses."
2. The firewall included with Mac OS X is "industrial strength." No need for a third-party firewall product.
3. A comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution is essential. Computing without a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution is like driving without auto insurance. If you don't have a Backup and Recovery solution that you're using regularly, you're essentially accepting the risk that at some point all of your data may be lost. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ.
4. re: Disk Utility. I recommend having both Alsoft DiskWarrior 4.x+ (DW4) and Micromat TechTool Pro version 4.x+ (TTP4).
While both can build a new, optimized directory for a disk, I have found there are some disks that only DW4 can repair. DW4 is a "specialist" in disk directories.
Likewise, TTP4 brings a host of useful hardware testing routines that are neither in DW4 nor the Apple Hardware Test. TTP4 also includes an excellent disk defragmenter. Defragmenting is generally not required under Mac OS X 10.3 or later unless you perform an extensive amount of video editing or your disk is nearing full, in which case it may be useful. See Mac OS X: About Disk Optimization. TTP4's Surface Scan is also useful in determining if a disk has developed bad sectors.
If one owns neither utility today, the initial investment may seem like a good deal of money, but compared to your data and your time, the cost of these utilities is insignificant in the the long run. I've found their upgrades to be reasonably priced for what they do.
Neither utility is a substitute for a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution. But I've seen DW4 save more than one person's bacon and the suite of hardware tests and additional functions TTP4 bring to the table make both a worthwhile investment.
If one could only purchase one now, I'd recommend they purchase DW4, then later add TTP4 when funds permit.
Better to have the tools and not need them, than to need them and not have them.
A good mechanic has more than one kind of wrench in their toolbox.
5. re: General Maintenance: See my "Maintaining Mac OS X" FAQ. It covers my advice on "regular maintenance" and dispels some common "maintenance myths."
Finally, since you are new to Mac OS X, you may benefit from some of the educational resources I recommend in my "Learning About Mac OS X" FAQ.
Good luck!

inplace of mkstoolkit i installed cygwin,
which command i need to use in place of this:-
" 'C:\mks\mksnt' for the location of MKS during the installation" -"Provide the pathname to the bin directory under the Cygwin Root Directory instead (For example, "C:\cygwin\bin").
After you install Cygwin, please do the following:
C:\> copy gawk.exe awk.exe (answer yes to copy over existing file)
C:\> copy grep.exe egrep.exe
C:\> copy make.exe gnumake.exe
C:\> copy gcc.exe cc.exe
Add the cygwin bin directory to the system path.

Lost System Utilities Folder/Files and Preview on Restore

I recently restored my Mac partition from Time Machine due to a disk error. As of now, looks like all my data is present.....EXCEPT the system utilities (system monitor, etc.) and preview. I downloaded Mavericks from the App Store. Is there a way to restore these files....easily?
Thanks.

You don't need to wipe it, you can simply redownload and reinstall the OS on top of your current OS. That is assuming that your problem is the OS install; if that is the case, you should be fine after that. However, if there is a problem with your TM restore, that would be another matter. In that case, you'd most likely need to wipe it first.
For now, I'd try the OS download/install.

Invoking system utilities from java program

Hi, I'm trying to write a program which will invoke system utilities when the user selects an appropriate option. The following code is a part of my app. But the problem is that I am not able invoke system utilities like chkdsk and disk defrag, which have specific exe's in system32 folder. I am able to invoke other exe's like Notepad.exe with the same code.

DVD - bootmgr corrupt system cannot boot

Good afternnon,
the DVD cannot be used to run te set up - Vista Home Premium 64bit.
Once lunched a black screen shows only "bootmgr corrupt system cannot boot"
What I have to do? Is it possible to receive a new copy?
Thx

Hi,
Can you test in another computer?
It seems this is related to your installation media. If so, it is recommended to try a good copy.

[10.9] How to fix corrupted system frameworks

Now, I am a particularly experienced mac user, but this problem is completely out of my depth.
I use a Mac Mini 5,2, and keep its software as up to date as possible. I have configured the system for maximum performance, using utilities like SMCFanControl to keep it at low temp, even.
I updated my system from 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 as soon as the update was available. I have done this same thing dozens (at least) of times. However, this time after the update, many of my apps started showing an identical error:

All the parts showing errors seem (to me) to be system-level libraries and frameworks, which leads me to believe that the ones named were corrupted somehow during the Operating System update process.
What I want to know is, is there a way to fix this problem without Time Machine or a total OS reinstall? I don't have the funds to afford a 150+ GB backup drive for all my application data, etc.

"just backup everything first - having no backup at all is foolish, frankly."
Of course--I have backups, I just don't have space for an additional 100+ GB of them. Most of my data is in fact kept on a separate partition; it's just programs that I keep on my boot partition.
"Curse Client claims to be an 'alpha release' for Mac and is also no longer supported (since around July 2013) - so it seems likely that the problem is there."
As far as Curse Client goes, it's one of a half-dozen apps with the problem, including system apps. Curse Client is simply the only one that crashes so predictably.
"SMC Fan control can do physical damage to your Mac if you forcibly set it too low for the usage on the Mac, take care with that - I'm not sure you know how to manage the Macs internal temperature better than the onboard sensors, especially when gaming?"
From SMCFanControl's MacUpdate page:
smcFanControl lets the user set the minimum speed of the build in fans. So you can increase your minimum fan speed to make your Intel Mac run cooler. However in order not to damage your machines smcFanControl doesn't let you set a minimum speed to a value below Apple's defaults.
Also note that smcFanControl does not change the automatic fan speed handling at all, merely increases the baseline speed (the "idle" speed) to a rate of your choosing. If a higher speed is needed, the system will still increase the fan speed automatically.
I have four presets: 1800 RPM (Default minimum), 2048 RPM, 4096 RPM, and 5500 RPM (max available).
Anyway, thanks for the advice! I'll see if it helps any.

Hyper-V 2012 R2 generation 2 VM corrupted system partition after restart

Hi
We have a cluster running on Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V feature.
One VM that has Windows 2012 R2 Standard OS installed (generation 2) was corrupted via restart.
VM has 3 virtual disks (VHDX) - first for system (dynamic size), second for SQL_data (fixed size) , third for SQL_logs (fixed size)
Yesterday, I restarted VM and VM didn't come up, I got error
- 'Boot Failed. Windows Boot Manager'
- 'Boot Failed. EFI SCSI Device'
Looked all three VHDX we noticed that the first one (system) was corrupted - partition and MBR are gone inside VHDX.
Second and third one are OK, we can mount them and access all data on it.
It looks like on first VHDX (system with SQL 2014 installed) partition was corrupted, so we can't do repair because it's says unknown partition.
There were no updates applied to VM, corrupted partition is 40GB size (dynamical) with 18GB of data used.
This is first generation 2 VM that we have, all others are generation 1 without any problems.
Can anyone please explain us, how can this happened, since we did nothing inside VM, also cluster reports no errors, checking VHDX looks fine, just partition inside got corrupted.
We like to find out what happened, before we deploy more Win2012 R2 VM (gen2) in production envirionment.
Thank you in advance
Regards
Mike

Hi Mike ,
" The most common causes of data corruption in the VHD file are from:
Data corruption due to faulty / failing physical storage
Data corruption due to transferring files over faulty / failing networks
Maybe the following link is helpful :

[System: Utilities] Bootsplash

I couldnt find a pkgbuild for the latest bootsplash.
i found a previous pkgbuild on the arch bootsplash howto http://archlinux.veloxis.de/howtos/boot … index.html but it was quite outdated, here is one for 3.1.
my first pkgbuild so be nice..
seems to work.. although some of the executables may be in the wrong location as it wanted splashpbm in /sbin.
it didnt complain about the rest, but that doesnt mean they may not be wrong.

thanks..
hopefully gensplash will make this alot easier, but i havent tried it yet..

i was playing today and came up with two new (better?) methods of building patched initscripts (i was mainly doing it for bootsplash but it should work for all patching). assuming patches are compatible you should be able to apply several and have a pkg that you can use in a local repo and easily update when new versions of initscripts are released.
i think the one that downloads the latest pkg first is more secure than the abs version - as there is no checksumming for abs?
anyway - the first gets the pkg from current, explodes it, patches it and rebuilds it - the second grabs the files that make the package from ABS (allows compile of minilogd)

Missing/corrupted system file in ..\system32\config and in ..\repair folder

Hello everyone,
   Could you please help me with this proble ? I have got Windows XP PRO SP3 OEM.
Today when I started pc i have got error meesage system file in Windows/system32/config missing. When I look into folder system file is here, but maybe he is broken. I said fine no problém I have got Windows/repair. I only need to copy default file to config
folder.
But..
When I wanted to copy system file from Windows/repair folder there is no system file only system.bak. So I copy this file into Windows/system32/config and rename it onto system. I tried reboot PC, I saw starting Windows logo I almost jump into air, but after
few seconds my smile disappear. I got automatic restart. I tried it again, again and again same. So I tried run pc in safe mode with same result.
On the internet I read its can be by oem version of system. But where can I get system file now. Its possible to take system file form another pc ? Thank you for your advice.

Problem solved.
There is solution which help me, so maybe it can help to others.
Its better when you can unplug disk from pc and connect it to another via usb or via ata/sata such as another disk in the pc.
1. At first at computer you need to see invisible files and protected files of operation system.
                      Computer > F10 > Tools > Folder options
2. Now on the "corrupted disk" in the root you can see folder called "System volume infomation", but I think you dont have permission for it, right ?
                       Right click > Properties > Security > Add your self and add rights
-now you can open system volume information folder
3. open _restore{hexa} folder. Now zou can see a lot of folders started RP<number>, try to open the folder with higher nubmer. Next open snapshot folder. Now you can see a lot of files. But we want
_REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE or _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM, choose what you need. Now copy file whant you need for example _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM and rename it for SYSTEM.
4. Open this path Windows\system32\config and rename your corrupted file. For example "system" to system.bad
5. Last copy your new "system" file from SYSTEM VOLUME FOLDER which you created in step 3 to Windows\system32\config folder.
6. Plug your hdd back into your pc and start pc and hope all will be fine :) .
I hope this instruction will help someone, good day and smile :)
