Crash During Update From Full Disk

I was updating from 10.4.2 to 10.4.3. My disk filled up while doing this, and I could not empty the trash. The update stalled, and after several hours of letting it sit there, I held the power button five seconds to turn it off.
The computer will not complete start up now and stops in the stage where the apple logo shows and a ring of dots circles around.
Any ideas on what to do?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The first step is to connect to a computer where you can empty out excess information. The question becomes what machine do you have that you nearly filled up? If it is a machine capable of target disk mode, this exercise is quite easy. Otherwise you'll have to seek other options like booting off an external hard drive, or putting the hard drive in another hard drive case and connect to another machine. Installing an operating system on a nearly full disk is not a wise course of action, because of these limitations. So let's first get you some breathing room, and then decide what do next.

  • How can i fix my mac book pro. My safari crashes all the time, my screen will turn black for no reason, My iPhoto crashes during upload from my iPhone, I can't highlight anything and I can't drag anything.

    Someone PLEASE help me! I cant figure out what is going on with my computer.  I don't install anything weird, but my brother does.  He's very good at computer tech stuff and is in I.T, but I cant help but blame him for all the problems my Mac is having.  Nothing works like it should.  My safari will randomally crash, my screen will randomally turn back, my iphoto will crash during uploading from my iPhone, I cant highlight anything, I can't drag anything.  When I want to click on something, I have to click over and over again just for it to even register.  I know everything is up to date and recently reset my PRAM.  I'm running Lion and have a lot of room on my hardrive.  I have an external harddrive and I'm wondering if I should just move all of my important files over to it and completly wipe out my computer's hardrive and start from scratch. 

    Some folks can't leave well enough alone, and insist on downloading all sorts of additional "stuff" that ends up making their Mac unstable.
    Standard Mac OS X on properly-operating Hardware does not crash, unless you start installing too many add-ons.
    You can run "just the basics" by holding down the Shift key at Startup. This does one pass of Disk Repair, then loads a minimal set of extensions, and comes up in Safe Mode. If it works OK that way, but crashes in "regular", it's the add-ons.
    There ia another layer of add-on junk that can be added to Safari. If the only remaining problem is Safari crashing, those add-ons can be disabled as well.

  • IMovie'08 (7.1) Crashes during Import from Camera

    Well, it is hard to say simpler then the subject line of this posting... iMovie'08 (7.1) Crashes during Import from Camera (PANASONIC PV-GS500). I use 24GHz MacBook Pro with 4Gig of RAM. Importing to OWC 500Gig RAID drive, as well as to the internal 200Gig 7200 RPM drive. So it certainly looks like not because of hardware. I tried to remove DIVX and Pearl plugins from QT folder in Library as it was suggested in previous postings to no success. It seems like I am not the only one with this problem here. If iMovie cannot import from camera then what is it good for? By the way, the previous version of iMovie works fine importing etc. Did I just wasted $79.00? Anybody knows the solution? I hope somebody can help.

    FOUND FIX
    I found this fix in another thread post. iMovie 7 appears to be bugged, but you can import movies if you download iMovie6 HD. It's apparently free from apple for iLife 08 users.
    Here's the link so you can download it.
    http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/AppleSupport_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Mac_OSX/downloads/061-3532.20070807.nq3ER/iMovieHD6.dmg
    Hours spent trying all sorts and iMovie HD ... just seems to work. Someone suggested that I use an external HD to improve performance. Just make sure you don't use Fat32 because it bombs when the file size gets to 2GB lol. It's a limitation of the Fat32 format. Since you can't access NTFS directly, you're a bit stuffed if you want to use the external HD with you Mac and PC. Either format it for your mac or your pc.

  • Crashed while updating from 10.6.8 to 10.7 and didn't import anything.

    Hi all, I have just updated my Mac pro from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5 and it crashed during the last minute of the install. I left it for a few hours, hoping that it would complete the install, but eventually was forced to restart it by holding down the power button. It started up fine, but instead of merging with my files and and applications, it brought up a new, clean operating system with none of my old data or applications. It prompted me to use the migration assistant, but as the data I need is already on the start up volume, it doesn't give me the option of importing it. I did a spotlight search and it seems that it is all still there in a folder called "recovered items". What should I do to get it all in place? Thanks Evan

    "applications" "system" "library" and "users" and all the data I need will be in them.
    You can't simply replace those items, except for files in /Users/yourname/Documents
    (if that's where you keep all you files) So the good news is all your own data should be intact.
    Migration assistant wouldn't let me access them because they are inside a folder.
    I don't understand what you mean by they are inside a folder?

  • InDesign crash when updated from InCopy

    From 2007 to last week I have never had any issues with InDesign and InCopy. LOVE the way they work together.
    Upgraded to CS6 two weeks ago... Put one set of papers out last week with some odd things happeing where InDesign would update an InCopy edit and they seconds later it would be out of date again.
    Now this week all updates from InCopy crash InDesign.
    This is driving me crazy. I have started replacing content with InCopy files just to have them show up out of date... and any update crashes InDeisgn.
    I have no idea how I am going to get through this weeks paper.
    Any help out there???
    Thanks
    Chris
    Windows 7, one is brand new... all CS6 all fresh clean installs...

    OK... this is gettin worse.
    Now I cant place a PDF.
    I moved all files to my local computer, still haveing issues!
    Completely unacceptable!

  • Apple tv crashed during update

    My apple tv has crashed during an update. I has got stuck on step 1 of 2 preparing to update.
    I may have caused this by trying to use during update.
    Should i unplug and start over
    Thanks

    You are not supposed to use while it is downloading and applying the update. It's very likely to have caused the issue. I don't think you can just unplug and start over, though you may try.
    I would suggest grabbing a micro USB cable and restoring in iTunes, which will also download the latest update

  • Ipod will not restore crashed during update

    ipod crashed on update and will not work. it said to do a restore but I have tryed 2 times and both times the restore didn't work

    I just did the install of 2.0.02 last and I had one dickens of a time restoring my library. Here is what happened to me. Right before doing the update it tells you that all of your music, videos etc.. will be removed from the Ipod Touch once the update is done installing. So I found a DVD and burned my library to it. Then I went ahead and did the install. It clean my Ipod Touch clean, but my iTunes library was still intact so I thought all will have to do is resync it but that didn't work. I tried and tried. I disconnected my external HD. Oh yeah by the way this is a new computer that I just bought and last night was the first time I used iTunes on it so I had to populate my library using iGadget.
    Anyway, I realized that I didn't have manually manage my iTunes library unchecked I unchecked it and it began to sync the back up copy I had of my library. Did either of you back up your library before installing 2.02? Do you have a place where most of your music is stored outside of iTunes? You cannot have Manually manage library checked it won't restore if you do. Be aware though 96% of my cover art was gone with this restore. How annoying. I don't know if this is the information you were looking for but I hope I have been able to shed some light on the issue.

  • Bios recovery for HP dv5-1235dx/Vista (64-bit) crashed during update

    My HP Pavillion dv5-1235dx which ran windows vista (64-bit) crashed while updating bios (after my old bios was deleted).  I have tried the start+b+power trick to recover but that option did not work.  HP Support suggests to create a usb key to install bios, however I have repeatedly failed in recovering/installing bios because the instructions are very limited. They mention a "create a usb key" option that I have yet to find that would make the key.  After using the HP UEFI BIOS Update SoftPAQ and extracting files from the bios .exe file, I found the following:
    1 folder (sp45138) with contents below
    3602F21.fd
    3603F21.fd
    ding (wave sound)
    InsydeFlash (application)
    InsydeFlash (text document)
    iscflash.dll
    iscflash.sys
    iscflashx64.sys
    platform (configuration settings)
    So, my questions are as follows:
    Where is the mystery "create a usb key" button?
    What files should I have installed on my usb drive?
    Does anything have to be renamed or formatted?
    Thanks for any help given!

    Hello Ceelion21.  I understand you're trying to recover your computer from a failed BIOS flash.
    I see this question get asked a lot so I have made sure to bookmark the instructions which I found on another website.  Here is a link.
    You should be able to download the BIOS file from HP Support.  I believe you'll need to use an application such as 7-Zip to extract the BIOS file and locate the *.FD file.
    If this doesn't work you'll likely need to have the notebook repaired.  If you'd like to inquire about a repair through HP Support and are in the US/Canada you can give them a call at 1-800-474-6836.  If you're in another part of the world you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to get your region's contact information.
    Let me know the result of the BIOS recovery.  I hope you have an excellent night!
    Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

  • Itunes crash during update all apps or even a few apps at a time in windows

    My itunes crashes when I click "update all apps" or even when I just update manually a few apps at a time.  Its not related to the version of itunes it seems the issue has occured during the passed few versions.  I've tried logging off the store account and relogging in.  I've reinstalled itunes.  I've uninstalled all apple programs from the pc and itunes and reinstalled everything fresh. I've deleted the library files and let itunes create new ones and the issue still persists. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi dj_alien,
    If you are having an issue with iTunes for Windows quitting unexpectedly during use, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • IMac Crashes during updating of thumbnails

    My daughter's iMac 24 (8,1 from 2008) had a problem last week.  Took it to Apple.  They first said it was the HD, then said it was the video card. They called and said they could not boot from the HD, but could from external (which they couldn't do before the video card was replaced.  Asked to wipe the HD, which was fine since I have a TM back up (and a SuperDuper back-up at work).  They said not to restore everything from TM, but to only restore apps, then bring things over manually....something a possible software issue.
    Fired up the iMac, brought over movies and documents.  During the process to move the photos, the iMac crashed.  Long story short, I moved the library from TM to the pictures folder today.  It took a few hours (lots of photos).  Opened iPhoto and it said it was updating thumbnails.  Before the progress bar moved, the iMac rebooted.  I reopened iPhoto and clicked "finish later" re the thumbnails.  The library opened, all the folders/albums were there, but no thumbnails.  The photos seemed fine.
    I then restared iPhoto holding down option-command.  I first repaired permissions, then it went to the indexing of the thumbnails.  No progress on the status bar and the gear stopped spinning and the iMac rebooted.
    Again, option-command and I tried to rebuild the database (the fourth choice on the list).  It took less than 10 seconds and the iMac rebooted.  The crash report is below. 
    I used iPhoto Library Manager (3rd party program) to rebuild the library as well.  That seems to have worked (it's still going).  Anyone see anything in the report that would be of concern?  I'm thinking that perhaps I have a bigger problem than the video card (perhaps a logic board issue).
    Thanks in advance.

    They said not to restore everything from TM, but to only restore apps, then bring things over manually....something a possible software issue.
    Not sure what this is about or what it means with reguards to iPhoto or what you did to "bring things over manually"
    But the iPhoto library is a SQLite database and must always be treated as a single entity - you can not not manually resotre pieces of it and use it - you must use the Time Machine application and restore the iPhoto library intact as one single restore

  • Trouble downloading Snow Leopard sw updates- system crashes during update installs. I'm only trying to get to the AppStore to download

    I've upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard... fine.
    Installing the system updates (the AppStore isn't in the Snow Leopard install, just available via a system update)
    The updates appear to have downloaded ok, then the system restarts to install, and .... CRASH. All's I'm trying to do is legally get to Lion.
    I have a 15" Macbook Pro, 2gb ram, dual core Intel, 120gb drive.
    Should I re-install Snow Leopard, or anyone have any good ideas?  I suppose it could even be a hardware problem of some sort, but the system seeems stable unless I try to do the sw updates.
    Please help!
    Thanks all!

    dual core Intel   /    All's I'm trying to do is legally get to Lion.
    Lion requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    From here > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
    Click your Apple icon top left corner of your screen then from the drop down menu click: About This Mac
    If it doesn't say:  Intel Core 2 Duo  
    Then you can't upgrade the Mac to Lion.

  • Adobe Flash Player error during update from 10.0.45 to 10.1

    I am getting this error message during the upgrade from 10.0 to 10.1 and it errors with the following error:
    Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or Package vendor. Action NewCustomAction1, location: ...\installAX.exe, com...
    since this has happened, it has already removed the previous version of flash and will not allow me to reinstall the new or old version so now I have no version of flash.
    Has anyone else seen this?  I have only 1 solutionn right now which is to reimage the PC.

    Uninstall your current FP first; use the uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html, then download the installer(s)
    for Internet Explorer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    for all other browsers http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    Download all the above executables to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the installer(s).
