Did I screw up something while installing OS...?

Hi,
I started the installation of an OS, but I quit the process at the beginning. I was asked, to select from where to restart, and I chose HD, with the old OS. When the computer restarted, it got stuck, i.e. the screen is gray, with the Apple logo, those little black lines are chasing each other in circle, and it's like this for quite some time. Did I screw up something...?
Thanks.

If you are expecting only a new OS X install on the computer,
why did you interrupt the last attempt at an install?
Anyway, depending on what you have going on, it may be prudent
to not run Disk Utility until after some semblance of a bootable OS
in the computer is installed and boots up normally, since it may
not be possible to really repair something not quite there.
If you do not need whatever is on the computer's drive, go ahead
and boot from the installer and run the Disk Utility in there, to
perform a secure erase (and choose 1-pass, to over-write the old
content) and reformat the hard disk drive. Then, there would be
no old system folders, applications or anything. It'd be all Gone.
But, if you expect or hope to use some applications from an older
OS X (Panther) in a Tiger system, by upgrading over 10.3 w/ 10.4,
then that would be via an Archive & Install over your Panther OS;
and your old account names, passwords, and network settings,
user account preferences, etc could be carried over into the Tiger.
Otherwise, they'd not be; and you would have to manually add them
to the system. And some parts from Panther, in an A&I-type install,
could be scavenged from a 'previous system' folder, maybe, so if
you have one of those in the computer after an install and upgrade,
that can be looked into with some degree of wonder. Some of these
apps may require an installer for them to work; others may not. And
utilities (onyx, etc) from an earlier install OS X won't work in the later.

    My mac hung up while installing an update. It took hours and still did not complete the update. I restarted my mac. Upon turning it back on, a wheel has been spinning on a grey screen. I tried to reinstall OS X from utilities, but encounter an error. What do I do?

    Hey Manaskala,
    First point of call on all grey screen issues is the following:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    Given this issue has appeared after a software update, I'd advise you do the following instead though:
    1. Get an external hard drive, with enough space to put the entire hard drive of your Mac onto. Make sure you've safely copied any data you have off of it, as the next step will erase it.
    2. In the recovery HD of your machine, use Disk Utility to format you EXTERNAL hard drive with the partition table as GUID, and the format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    3. Get out of Disk Utility, and click Reinstall Mac OS X.
    4. When asked where, choose to install onto your external hard drive.
    5. When the download and installation is complete, your Mac will reboot into a clean fresh setup screen. Make your user account an administrator, and make up a name and password; I use 'Test' and 'test'.
    6. Your machine is now running from the external hard drive, not the internal hard drive, so don't be alarmed when you don't see your files.
    7. Open the finder, you should see 'Macintosh HD' in the sidebar. This is the internal hard drive of your computer.
    8. Open Macintosh HD, and copy out the following folders into a new folder on your desktop:
    -Users.
    -Applications.
    -Library. (This only needs to be done if you use 3rd party software that saves things in the /Library, do a quick google and see if it does e.g. Photoshop, Protools).
    9. When these have copied (it'll take quiet a while), you can now use Disk Utility to erase your hard drive. Don't erase Macintosh HD but the ENTIRE hard drive on the inside of your Mac, and as Thomas A Reed mentioned, there was likely an existing issue on your HDD so please go to Security Options and choose 'Zero Out' before clicking erase. This will rebuild the partition table which was a possible cause of the failed update.
    10. Reboot the machine holding 'Option', go to recovery HD.
    11. Choose 'Reinstall Mac OS X', this time onto your INTERNAL hard drive.
    12. When this is complete, make another admin user called test and password test, like you did last time.
    13. Run Software Update from the  menu of your Mac.
    14. In the Finder, you should see your external Hard Drive. open it up, inside that you should see your desktop etc, and on the desktop will be your folder containing Library, Applications and Users.
    15. Go to Finder up next to the  and choose File -> New Finder Window.
    16. In your second finder window, open up Macintosh HD (through the Go -> Computer menu), and go to your Users folder.
    17. Open the Users folder in your first finder window, and copy your user folder (has your name on it) into the second user folder (the one inside Macintosh HD).
    18. This might take a while.
    19. When complete, go to System Preferences -> Users and Groups and unlock the padlock.
    20. Click the '+' sign, and make a new administrator user.
    21. Now, the fun bit. Note the name of your user folder you copied, e.g. 'Nathan', containing all of your stuff. Note the difference between your user folder (has your name on it) and the Users folder (contains YOUR user folder, guest folder and shared folder).
    22. Make the ACCOUNT NAME of your new adminstrator user the EXACT name of your user folder (normally lower case and without spaces), this is case sensitive folks. Your full name can be whatever you want, usually your full name.
    23. Then click create. You should be informed that a home folder with that name in it already exists in the Users folder, would you like to make your new account from that folder? say YES!
    24. When this is complete, log out of the Test user, log into your new account we've just made, all your stuff should be there.
    25. ???????
    26. Profit.
    There's a few little bits that may need to be cleaned up afterwards, applications folder from your external hard drive should replace the applications folder on your internal hard drive, if the previously mentioned /Library folder contained important goodies then that should replace the /Library folder on your new Mac.
    Hopefully that will help you out, straight after that is done make sure your stuff is there, erase your external hard drive and turn on time machine!

    Reinstall OS X:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
    Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • An issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on Ubuntu 10.04-64bit

    Hi,
    I'm running into an issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on my Ubuntu 10.04-64 bit installed machine using oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb package. The issue actually came up when I was trying to reinstall the package after uninstalling it due to some problem I had with my login credentials. To elaborate further on it, the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script does not get created when I execute the debian package and thus i'm unable to configure the required credentials and stuff after the installation. I doubt whether this has something to do with the procedure I followed when uninstalling the previous package it. But what I did was just what's mentioned in the following [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25144/toc.htm] user guide published by oracle.
    Another important clue would be, the platform of my machine is amd64bit although I'm dealing with an installation package preferred for i386. But I believe it's the only thing available in the oracle software download section. Hence I had to use the --force-architecture option to install it. But after reading some post published on this forum, I've figured out that it does not affect the usual execution of the software. Anyway,  I would greatly appreciate some help on this matter.

    Hi,
    Finally I've managed to find a solution for this issue. Thanks a lot for all the replies.
    Here's how I got rid of it.
    Addressing all the facts one by one,
    1.The problem of not getting the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script generated was avoided
    by removing all the configuration files that were previously created while installing
    the product. The following command can be used to accomplish that task.
    *$ dpkg --purge oracle-xe*
    2.Next, Initially the password I used during the configuration process was "admin".
    Although I tried a couple of times installing the product providing the aforementioned
    password, the web UI kept prompting "Invalid Credentials" message not allowing me
    to login. But, this particular issue could be avoided by giving some other simple
    password.
    Finally, got it working and once again thanks a bunch for taking the burden of
    replying this thread.
    Cheers,
    Prabath

  • "An error occurred while installing OS X" message

    I've got this message during the installation of OS X Maverick : "An error occurred while installing OS X"
    It seems blocked since a half hour right now, I can't proceed in any way because there are no "buttons", just turning off the power.
    What should I do in this case?
    Is it dangerous for my data and the OS shutting it down?

    This is why you have a backup before you do any new OS installation.
    If there are no other options besides powering down, then you've got to power down: hold down the power button until it shuts off. This probably won't screw up your data or the OS, but it might; see item #1.
    See if your computer can start up, with the previous OS in place.
    I had the "an error occurred..." message too, while I tried to install. I did a safe boot Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? and ran the installer again, and it worked.

  • Mistake while installing OSX ?

    MACBOOK PRO 9,1   Intel core i7 2.6 ghz    8gb    OS X 10.9.4 mavericks
    Help !?
    I'm relatively new to troubleshooting macs. I awoke, after falling asleep while my mac was playing a movie on netflix, to a flashing File folder icon with the ? in it. I attempted to restart it, and it gave me the hanging apple splash screen and the revolving thing just kept on for twn minutes.....this happened a month ago. i restarted in safemode and repaired the disc utility, and then i reset the ram.... that fixed it last time, this time, i may have not did it correctly,  not sure. I read online about reinstalling OS X from the hardrive but didn't realize that i needed to be connected to the web to do it, nor did i realize that i have to connect wifi manually, and i started to try the reinstall. needless to say, it stopped half way through and said it couldn't continue the reinstall. Now  I'm stuck on the OS X installer screen, and it gives me options to set up installation of OS X or Repair my disc from a backup .   
                 My question is, since i wasn't connected the first time, to the internet, did i screw up my old files? Did i LOSE anything? Can i Reinstall from here without screwing anything up? WHere do i look for instructions? I'm at a loss because i'm new to macs. I was a PC guy and a builder at that, but i got impatient with this and tried to get ahead of myself. Now im nervously hoping all is not lost . thanks for any help you can give. i realize this may get annoying after a while.

    Hey v joseph,
    As long as the drive wasn't re-formated/erased, your information should still be on the HDD. When you do a regular re-install of OS X., it only installs the system files (the operating system and the built-in apps). Doing this in recovery would be your best bet. Start the MacBook Pro and immediately hold Command and R. You'll be brought to a screen that will either ask you to select a language or it will bring you to a list of options, one of those being "Reinstall OS X". You definitely need to be connected via Wi-Fi, make sure this connection is made before clicking the Re-install option and hitting continue.
    You'll go through some prompts, it'll re-download the latest version of 10.9 (should be 10.9.4) and install it.
    Entire process will take close to 2 hours.
    My pro-tip for you: Make sure you have a Time Machine backup set up for events like this in the future. Just gives you the added piece of mind in knowing your data is being backed up.

  • Reformat: I hit the "skip" option and now what?  Did I screw up?

    okay so the empty space was taking forever so i wanted to stop it and just do the full process all over without the 7 pass and just the single pass so i hit the "skip" button. i did that about 2 hours ago and it is still "skipping." so what have i done. did i screw something up? i just wanted to start all over. i was going to quit disk utility but it said that could cause damage. so what is going on now during this "skipping" and why is it taking so long?
    if i can just get started over i will do the "single pass" and i will not just do it with the empty space...

    There is nothing to start over from. If you haven't hosed your hard drive by now perhaps what you can do is stop the process and do an Erase & Install.

    Got iTunes going! Here's what I did:
    I followed all of the directions cited in the "second box" referenced above. Tried installing itunes again and got the exact same response "An internal error occurred".
    I remember reading something about my problem may have something to do with a corrupted user account and started to go down that path.  Right after creating and logging into the the new user account (also had admin privileges), I downloaded iTunes. Voila! iTunes installed!
    Curious, I "switched" to my original user account, found the iTunes icon (thought it was deleted during the "second box" effort). 
    Found desktop icon (thought they were removed with above operations) and double clicked. Response was: Please wait while windows configures iTunes.
    iTunes came up!
    Looked normal with all of my information.
    Went back to the new user account and logged off.
    Returned to my user account. Still looked normal.
    Tried synching my iphone 5. No problem.
    Looks like I'm up.
    Thanks for all of the advice.  Not sure which steps might have been superflous, but glad I'm running.
    Hope it works for you, jrl2320and Lincolnlad.

  • Pc keeps crashing while installing drivers

    Hi,
    i've got a problem after installing new drivers for my X-fi Xtreme Music card.
    While installing the drivers my pc suddenly restarted and after that it kept crashing while loading Windows.
    After that formated c and reinstalled windows but now I can't install the old drivers anymore.

    Just a small update.
    I've installed PC Alert on this PC for the first time, really usefull little program. Definately something I would advise to everyone.
    I've kept running the mega160 with the single 512Mb 333DDR module and it kept running without a problem. I'm not sure if I should go back to my ghost image I made just before it crashed with the 400DDR module as it did damage some file.
    I've been reading in the FAQs and found a line saying something about the onboard video using the memory aswell and not being able to handle 400DDR memory. I guess I'll need to find a 333DDR module for sale somewhere:)
    For now I'll keep it to a combo of 400DDR memory not being a good choice and the fact that the PSU got to hot due to the place my PC was standing. I've got it on my desk without anything close buy and it keeps much cooler to the touch.

    I wish it were that but a long time ago when I had a problem with the gadgets with iGoogle back 6 months ago thereabouts I was asked to disable it then and I did and I just went to re-check and it is still not enabled, however, it will not let me un-install it though.. It only gives me an option to enable or disable.. Any advice ? So I'm wondering if it is something else still or is there a problem with the avast still ?

    Hi
    The easiest way to get a fully working TNSNAMES in a version 4 environment is to use the Net 8 Configuration utility.
    Here's a workflow:
    1. From the Start button, select Start | Oracle for Windows NT | Oracle Net8 Easy Config
    2. When it starts, check Add New Service and in the little box to the right type the name by which you want this connection to be known
    3. Click the Next button
    4. Select TCP/IP (Internet Protocol) and click the Next button
    5. Enter the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the server that contains the database
    6. In Port, enter the port number - it defaults to 1521
    7. Click the Next button
    8.In Database SID enter the name of the database, then click the Next button
    9.Click the Test Service button
    10. Provide a username and password for an account on the database, then click the Test button
    11. If you see: Connecting.... The test did not succeed you got the username/password combination wrong or some other part of the setup
    12. When you see: Connecting.... The connection test was successful click the Done button
    13. Click the Next button
    14. Click the Finish button
    You should now have a valid TNSNAMES connection for use by Discoverer 4
    Best wishes

    Ajit,
      By design, the product is not able to be installed under the superuser account.
    1.  Create a new user and specify a home directory for the user without a quota set.
    2.  Copy or move the installation files to a directory that the new user can read.  I suggest you move the installation files directly into the new user's home directory.
    3.  Logon as the new user (or su - newuser)
    4.  run the installation shell script using that new user's account.
    NOTE:  Ensure the system meets the requirements from the supported platforms documents.
