Did Tiger Kill my 4.0.3

Upgraded to Tiger from Panther. Went away for a week. Now my iphoto opens, but stalls loading the photos. So I have to force quit.
Any guesses to what happened, or any solutions?
thanks fred

Fred: After upgrading to Tiger, did you use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your hard drive? Whenever you install or update anything that uses the Installer.app, you should repair permissions before and after doing so.

    16 mo young Mac Pro will not turn on. Dead. Why. No problems ever! Installed Yosemite and did not boot up after. Did that kill it? To young to die. What happened?what do I do now??????? Help!

    Note that you don't have a Mac Pro as stated. Your profile says you have a MacBook Pro. Please clarify as they are entirely different computers. If nothing below works for you, then make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities 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. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • BI7.x sessions did not killed

    Hi,
    We are facing the issue on the number of sessions that are generated in R/3 when a user is active on the portal. If I watch my user is transaction SM04, I see many sessions are being created and when logging of, users dont get closed. This is happening only If I execute the report 7.x template.
    I found many notes but no result.Can you please help .
    - Lisa

    Hi Lisa,
    I do not have a solution to this issue.
    But I observed an interesting thing while opening 3-4 web templates.
    As you said, on closing a web template the session still can be seen in SM04 for the user. However, I saw that the memory consumed (last column - Megabyte in SM04) reduced from 4 to 1.
    Secondly, if I opened a new web template, it did not create a new session, but used the existing one (which remained after closure of the previous template) and increased the memory utilized for that session from 1 to 4 MB.
    So I guess that though SAP does not kill these sessions immediately (maybe it does after a certain period of time), it does try to optimize the resource (memory) utilization.
    Hope this helps!

    Saurabh

  • Tiger Killed All User Settings & Registrations: Recovery Ideas?

    Booted up today to find every single user setting hosed. Dock was in default setting with bad app links, all bookmarks on Firefox gone, all email settings erased. All software registrations nada. The works.
    System was shut down normally last night. I regularly maintain with Cocktail and Disk Utility.
    Repairs begun:
    Disk Warrior, which found some issues and repaired (apparently unrelated to the problem at hand). Then ran Disk Utility, no problems found. Still hosed.
    I had been running Tiger for about two weeks, installing 10.4 from DVD and upgrading by the book. Have now returned to the safety of 10.3.9
    Anyone heard of this issue, or have any suggestions on what happened or how to return to original? As this was a test of the new OS, my backup was the prior system. So only some bookmarks and outgoing mail lost. Obviously I’m not impressed with the stability of Tiger.

    "
    From what you are saying, it would appear (at least to me) that your User Preferences Folder got hosed. "
    From the little inspection that I did (in order to retrieve data not backed up), the user settings were not deleted ... but were sidestepped. In the bookmarks for Firefox, for instance, a blank bookmarks.html file was created, while the saved ones were re-labeled bookmarks-1.html, -2 etc.
    Not sure how the software registrations were "lost".
    I can see the advantage in a clean install. I did this with Panther upgrading from Jaguar, and moved my registrations, passwords, etc., file-by-file. (Some registrations aren't written down and have to be moved). It's time consuming but possible. Time is money, and Tiger's time-saving enhancements have just been nulled by this sudden maintenance issue. Next year when I have time I might give Tiger another go.

  • Tiger killed my Superdrive!

    Hey,
    Ever since upgrading from Panther to Tiger, I've only been able to burn audio CDs with about a 5% success rate, if even that much. ITunes doesn't give me any error messages, it just goes from burning "track###" to "finishing disc" and gets stuck there. When burning in Toast 6 or Toast 7, I get buffer underrun errors. Only occasionally when burning at 1x speed do I occasionally get a good audio CD. I have also been having trouble with burning DVDs on occasion... no burning errors are reported, they just don't pass verification and sometimes I end up with DVDR coasters.
    Lacking any other explanation for what's going on other than that my old Superdrive may actually be dying, I decided to reinstall 10.3 on one of my partitions since my problems started with 10.4. Well... it worked. I had absolutely no trouble burning discs under 10.3.9 and the latest version of iTunes.
    So... does anyone know any way that I might be able to burn discs in Tiger?

    This is pretty weird.
    I did a clean install of 10.3.9 on a separate partition and started burning discs with no problem - which ruled out hardware failure as far as I'm concerned. So on that same partition I installed 10.4 and immediately installed the 10.4.3 combo update, which rendered my superdrive useless once again. So back to the drawing board.
    After reinstalling 10.3.9 (again), I regained use of the Superdrive (again). This time, instead of installing Tiger and immediately updating to 10.4.3, I decided to update the OS incrementally. First I tested the drive with 10.4.0. It worked. Then I updated to 10.4.1. Burned some more discs with no problem. 10.4.2. Once again, burned a bunch of discs. Finally, 10.4.3. Burned one or two bad CDs, but that was only with a dozen successful burns, so I'll attribute the bad ones to old/bad media. So far, I was pretty d@mn happy... but I really wanted to stick with using my old partition - I was kinda dreading transferring all of my documents and apps and whatnots to a new drive. So for the heck of it I just booted from the original drive that had 10.4.3 and gave the superdrive a quick little test. First I burned a CD at 1x speed (the only speed I had ANY luck burning with before), and it worked. Did a few more with no problems. Attempted to burn at full speed, and to my surprise, it seems that my superdrive and Tiger are playing nicely together once again!
    So I have no idea what resolved my problem... nor do I even what the problem was to begin with, but for the moment it seems to be sorted.

  • Did I Kill My eMac? Dead hard Drive? Help if you can!

    I don't know what happened, but here's the setup (Please help if you can). emac with 10.4.6 768 RAM. I was going to copy a DVD using Toast. I put in the original and as usual, the computer grabbed the files, then opened the tray and asked me to put in a blank DVD. I wasn't at the computer at the time, and by the time I was back in the office, the computer had gone to sleep, with the tray open, waiting for me to put in a blank. I touched the mouse to wake it, and nothing happened. I touched the return key, and nothing happened. I moved the mouse, tapped return repeatedly and nothing happened. After waiting a few minutes, and having no luck trying to use force quit, or anything else, I finally held the power button till it shut off. Waited a bit and went to start it again. When powered up, I got the usual happy Mac chime chord. The screen blinked grey a couple times, went to a blue screen with a flashing file folder/question mark logo. Which to me means it can't find the system or the HD. As I had it handy, I popped in Tech Tool, restarted off that CD and it could not find the hard drive either. Frustrated, went to bed. Today, I've unplugged and let it sit. Reset the PMU, zapped the pram, and started off the system install disc..that also couldn't find the HD for installing. When I opened disk Utilties it at least listed the HD as existing, but when I highlighted it and clicked on "repair" I got a message that said " Invalid B-Tree Node size. Volume Check Failed. Volume could not be repaired because of an error. And also a poop up window that said "the underlying task reported failure on exit". None of which sounded too good to me!
    Any tricks left for me to try to bring this baby back to life? Note that this IS one of the models with the power supply/video issues that I have not had repaired,k as it's 200 miles to the Apple shop, and I have to bring it in, have them look at it, order the parts, wait till they get them in, fix it, then drive back to fetch it, which just hasn't been in my schedule yet.
    It's like the hard drive just isn't running. I don't hear any of the drive "thinking" sounds when I try to start it up.
    Is plugging in an external firewire drive and installing the system on that an idea? Something that would get me by for a while anyway? I'm getting by with my iBook, but for the wook I do, it's pretty touch on a 12" laptop! Luckily any real critical files and stuff I do have backed up on DVD, but I'd like to get 'er going!
    Any ideas welcome!

    Hi timinbovey
    That's a temperamental Tiger is it not? I've heard hard shutdowns can cause problems, but that is pretty unforgiving.
    There is little point trying to reinstall without first attempting to correct the 'Invalid B-Tree Node size' error.
    So your Tech Tool pro disk was no help. Hmm.
    The fastest and most expensive option would be to buy DiskWarrior which could fix the corrupt file structure on the disk.
    Before that you could try and start in FireWire target disk mode where you put your iBook's HD on the eMac's Desktop, then insert the Tech Tool pro disk into the iBook and running it from the iBook's drive see if it can see the eMac's drive and perform a repair on it.

  • How did I kill 2 iMac's?

    Long story, so short points.
    Originally purchased 20" white iMac in April 2007.
    Upgraded to 3GB RAM in June.
    Upgraded to Leopard end October.
    Attached the whole time to the iMac:
    Belkin 7Port USB HUB with attached:
    Two 500 LaCie drives
    One WD 500 Drive
    Headset and Mic for SKype
    Attached to the iMac 80GB Video iPod.
    When upgraded to Leopard has issue with TimeMachine 'pending' for hours and not been able to access the directory on my time machine drive. (maybe a side issue, not sure)
    Start of December my iPod decided not to sync, it would start to sync 1 of X amount of songs and get stuck on number one.
    A week or so latter my external drives would decided if they would mount or not.
    First week of January this year I took my white 20" iMac to service center, they found issues with the USB ports, replaced the logic board, and still found issues with USB ports.
    Apple replaced iMac with new 20" 2.4Ghz iMac.
    Swicthed on iMac attahced HUB and check iPod, everything worked.
    Unplugged and put in one 2GB stick of RAM
    Swicthed iMac back on, then started to have same issues again, ie) iPod not syncing, hard drives decided if they should work or not. (iPod does synch when connected to HUB, but random USB ports keep on not working)
    Took ram out, same issues.
    Did power management reset, Pram reset. Same issues.
    BTW: also have MacBook and partners iMac in house. My ipod works on both machines, and my partners iMac performs the same on my iMac, ie) not synching. So not iPod issue.
    Use external drives via Hub and my MacBook with no issues, but not plugged in for long periods on MacBook.
    Apple now thinks that my HUB has damaged both machines.
    So I'm no loger going to use the Belkin USB hub and have purchased a Targus hub for the next machine, but I'm worried that something else might be going on.
    Do you think it might have been the HUB?
    The RAM?
    Or really bad luck to have two faulty machines?

    I have a Staples brand 7 port hub and I have had no problems with Leopard. But, I have my Mac set up to never sleep. I will let the screen power down. I will let the hard drive spin down. But I never sleep.
    This is because I have some background things scheduled late at night like SuperDuper Backups, and sometimes let video jobs run all night.

  • What did Tiger do with all our desktop files?

    When we closed out an imaging program, we noted that all the files and folders on the desktop were gone. just the Hard drive icon was there. There was maybe 15 folder with several GB total on the desktop. But the desktop was clean. The trash still had a lot of old files/folders, but nothing from the desktop was in the trash. This is very serious, and I'm wondering if anyone knows how a iMac could selectively delete so many files, w/o emptying the trash.
    Thanks.
    -wayne

    One possibility is that you have a sever case of directory corruption. The files may still be there, just that the system lost track of them. This type of thing can happen for any number of reasons. Are you certain that these were not temporary files? What imaging program were you using? Did you remember to save your work? If you saved your work can you find it?
    If it is a directory problem you will want to start by booting from you system install CD and running Disk Utility to see if it can repair it. Directions for doing that can be found here:

  • Ctl-T nor the File-Open Tab are working any more. Did you kill this?

    I am a heavy user of the Ctl-T function, which opens a new tab on my existing Firefox screen. It is no longer working. Also, when I select File - New Tab, that doesn't open a new tab either.
    The File - New Window option works, but I don't want to have multiple Firefoxes open on my system.
    I've used this feature forever, and in the last couple of weeks (didn't notice the exact time), it stopped working. Did you change something?

    Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

  • Turned Off iPod Touch 1st Gen During Restore. Did I kill it?

    My 1st Generation iPod Touch wasn't being detected by iTunes so I chose the reset option that erases all data. While it was restoring, I thought it froze because the white progress bar under the apple stopped midway and I turned the iPod off. Now when I switch it on, the black screen with the apple logo switches on for about 10-seconds, and then the iPod powers off. My mac doesn't detect it and I've tried holding the home and the sleep key. What else can I do?

    If I were you I would call Apple about this problem

  • Did I kill my PB LCD Display?

    I dropped my PB. Not very hard, it slipped in its protective case and hit the floor on its side. Had a little dent in the case by AC power port. The display does not illuminate, but it very faintly shows the desktop contents. The hard drive and all seems fine, as I am using the PB with an external monitor.
    Any suggestions on things I can try to bring my display back to life?
    PowerBook G4 - Wireless Card   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    What you should do is take out the battery, unplug the power cord, and let it sit with the lid open for about 24 hours. Something like that may be a permanent damage or could be simply fixed by letting it sit. Sometimes it works, but others require to be repaired/replaced. Also, the other thing you can do is try to turn up the brightness. (Sometimes you have to hold Fn down while you adjust the brightness).
    I hope this is helpful and solves this issue you are having with your PowerBook G4.

  • Did we kill our flat panel

    my wife's 17- usb2 flat panel was having occasional crashes, so it occurred to me that it could use more ram. I didn't feel like opening the bottom, so I bought the computer to a repair shop that works on macs. he put a stick of kingston memory in the factory-installed slot bringing up to 1 gig. we brought the computer home and turned it on. It was fine for a half hour when it suddenly went dark (not asleep, dark). We restarted and got an "Open firmware" window and a graphic that looked like either scribble or a thousand computer chips. I restarted and heard a squeal (like a high D), then got the open firmware window. A few restarts later, we got the computer running, but there were odd lines through the screen.
    at that point, I shut it down and opened it up and replaced the ram back to the original, carefully using my torx screw driver. I closed it up, turned on the machine and it worked fine — for twenty minutes when it went dark and this time refused to wake up.
    I opened it again and rechecked to make sure the ram was slotted. it was. turned it on, got the chime and nothing, as if it won't access the ram or anything. I don't hear the disk drive turning, just the hum of the machine. I tried command option O-F (someone had success with that), but no luck.
    anyone have any suggestions? Is this computer toast?
    thanks for any advice,
    jeff

    Take it back and have that stick removed, the new RAM. Sometimes bad RAM or incompatible RAM will do that. Worth a shot.

  • Digital Audio - What did I kill?

    I installed an OWC 1 ghz processor and my hard drive died. Got a new hard drive, it was no good. Got a new hard drive, formatted it, installed OSX, all good. Next day, nothing past the chime, it shut off. I started from my CD, the hard drive showed up in Disk Utility, but as soon as I clicked on it, I got the dreaded black restart screen. I gave up and ordered another computer (Quicksilver 2002), but I'd still like to know what died on the DA.
    I reset the PMU when I should have, followed directions from OWC tech support, etc., set jumpers, all that stuff. Is it a circuit board?

    I unplugged everything before I opened the case, every time. The DA had the original video card.
    The processor seemed to be working fine, fans, everything. The story with the hard drive went on for over a week before I got a working one. I struggled with the first new one for several days before tech support said it was no good, so I returned it and they sent a new one. I set it for master, as tech support told me, reset PMU, all that good stuff. It formatted and installed OSX and OS9 just fine, then the next day, oh boy!
