Finder hangs on mounting old system disk as a external USB

Ok, I have an old system disk which was in a mac book pro that died, it ran snow leopard. I kept the disk as a storage device in an external enclosure. Up until updating to Mountain Lion I had no problems using the disk, I have removed most of the original OS folders, except User which I was trolling through slowly for old files. I also keep an old iPhoto library there as well. Now since updating to 10.8, whenever I mount that disk finder and just about anything important(system Preferences, Activity monitor, Disk Utility) hang until I must do a hard reboot. What can I do to continue using this disk without erasing it? I have tried to stop spotlight from indexing but like I said, everything hangs with in minutes of mounting this disk. Terminal relaunch commands have no effect on Finder, though it continues to run, as do Safari and Mail.

The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console 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 Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • Getting data from old system disks

    My Mac Mini was blown up by a lightning strike. Blew the Ethernet port.
    I have a new machine and the drives from the old one. Borrowed a cradle from a friend. The drives mount.
    I can see and copy files from folders I made on the drives but the User areas appear to have no files.
    There were Images in iPhoto and documents in iBooks.
    I am guessing it is a permissions thing...
    How can I get my files of off the old system disk?
    Thanks
    SGC

    I doubt this is a permission issue, but if it is, you can resolve it as follows. Select the volume icon in the Finder and open the Info window. Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your administrator password when prompted. Check the box at the bottom marked
    Ignore ownership on this volume
    Close the Info window.

  • Cannot delete Flash32_11_6_602_180.ocx from an old system disk

    Hi, I am running a Windows 8 64 bit system with the most current version of Flash installed, whatever that is, since I blindly accept whatever update Adobe sends to me.  My problem is that I cannot delete the Flash32_11_6_602_180.ocx file from an old system disk where I have deleted everything else in the Windows folder except the Flash32_11_6_602_180.ocx file.
    I have seen very similar posts by Krischu on November 27, 2013 "Cannot delete/remove Flash32_11_9_900_117.ocx" and by Gdstuart on January 22, 2014 "How to delete Flash32_11_9_900_170,ocx," and I have tried the "takeown" method and the FileASSASSIN method suggested by MikeM to both of those posts, but my Flash.ocx file just won't go away.
    I am the only user of this PC, and my user account describes me as an administrator, but I keep getting the "You need to provide admistrator permission to delete this file" when I try to delete it.
    Does anyone know how to delete this file without doing what Krischu did by loading a Ubuntu system?
    Thanks for any thoughts!

    Well Pat, I definitely do filter what Microsoft tries to load on my system, for example, their insistence in trying to sneak in Bing. Either way, I keep my system up to date constantly.
    Do you understand that the file I am dealing with is on a separate disk from my system disk? I don't see any way that the OS would automatically delete files that are not part of the current OS.
    I took the disks from my old PC and installed them inside of my new PC. The old system was Windows 7 32 bit, and my new system is Windows 8 64 bit.  As I said, there is only one user on my new system, me, and I am the administrator, so there is no "original Windows Administrator password" other than the one that I use every day. The only thing that I can think of is that the file is linked to my old admin user name from the W7 system, but even if that is the case, then why wouldn't  the "takeown" method give me ownership?

  • Old System Disks

    Good evening.
    I woud like to fire up my old original 128k Mac that was updated to a Mac 512. Does anyone know where one can get a copy of the system disks, system 2 as well as MacPaint and MacWrite?
    My kids will never believe what the Mac was and where it has come from. Plus, I am a bit nostalgic and want to run it again.
    Appreciate any assitance.

  • Sandboxing old system disk on new machine?

    Hi,
    my question is a fairly simple one, but somewhat convoluted, although I'll try my best to word it clearly:
    I just bought an '09 MacPro and stuck in 3 extra 1TB HDD's. I partitioned the 4th drive in two sections of 500GB each. On one of these partitions I want to clone the system drive of my old '07 iMac, the other partition will be used for Bootcamp.
    I will use the iMac's HDD clone as an alternative boot disk, occasionally.
    I suspect that there are some iffy things on my iMac, since power-down used to be near-instantaneous but now takes almost 20 seconds. That happened just overnight, BTW. Not a gradual process as a result of accumulating bloat, I think.
    The one thing I want to avoid, is any sort of malware creeping into my new machine because I cloned my old system drive onto the new one. Is there any way in which I can "sandbox" the cloned boot disk and restrict that system from accessing/recognizing/affecting the other disks?
    I basically want to run them as two entirely separate systems, even if they use the same CPU/RAM/GPU.
    Any sort of input will be appreciated, thanks.
    PS: what is that F8 thing again, where you use the other computer as a target drive?

    There are likely no hardware drivers on the iMac clone configuration that will allow you to boot the newer Mac with.
    Clone as a archive to access files, but likely can't boot, almost positive of that fact.
    The only chance in heck is if the OS X you installed on the old Mac has the hardware drivers for the newer Mac. Say a 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk for instance. Grey disks or factory installed OSX on the old Mac configuration? Forget it.
    I suspect that there are some iffy things on my iMac, since power-down used to be near-instantaneous but now takes almost 20 seconds. That happened just overnight, BTW. Not a gradual process as a result of accumulating bloat, I think.
    You can hold c boot the iMac off the 10.6 installer disk and simply install OS X over the installed verison, then immediatly Software Update. This replaces OS X only, not your files or programs, might cure your issue.
    Back up your user file folders (Music, pictures etc) to a external drive and disconnect before doing anything.
    If your still having issues with the iMac after resinstalling OS X, if your hard drive has enough room (full hard drives slow down a machine, look in Activity monitor) you can create a new user and log into that and see if your problems magically disappear.
    You can also get a Firewire cable and adapters (Firewire 800 to 400) hook the two Mac's together and T boot the iMac's hard drive to the desktop of the newer Mac, run a ClamXav scan, grab choice files and so forth, no need for a clone which you likely can't boot anyway.

    Well you likely can't clone as it won't boot anyway. So since your not running the OS on the clone on your new machine, code can't execute if it's on there.
    Far as I know there are no "hopping" malware for OS X that runs simply by connecting a infected media. OS X warns you of any new programs it hasn't seen previously before allowing it to run.
    If you T boot and jsut extract your choice files, run a ClamXav scan, your likely going to be just fine.
    Just don't transfer the old programs from the old Mac and run them on your newer machine.
    I basically want to run them as two entirely separate systems, even if they use the same CPU/RAM/GPU.
    But differnet hardware and no hardware drivers, so I'm almost positive it won't work at all.
    PS: what is that F8 thing again, where you use the other computer as a target drive?
    Hold T and boot the Mac you want's hard drive to appear on the desktop of the other, you need Firewire cable and adpater if one is one 800 and the other is 400. (defaults to 400 speeds.)
    Good Luck.

  • Old system disk setup into a Windows 8 storage space

    I have a old 2TB Windows system disk. How do I prepare the disk so that it can be added as a drive into Windows storage space?
    I have already deleted all but on partitions (except the system reserved partition) but Storage Space management still cannot see the new physical drive that can be added.

    Hi,
    The disk added should be un-formatted/un-partitioned drives, please make sure the disk has no partitions, and then add it again.

  • New machine with old system disk????

    Hi
    I've got a first generation Mac Pro and my new 8 core arrives tomorrow. Can I pull out the system disk from the quad core and put it into the new Octo? Will leopard reconfigure itself to work with the new hardware?
    Many thanks
    Nick

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    No. The license for the quad core machine limits the use of the quad core software to a quad core machine. Secondly, even if you did manage to bypass the restrictions of the firmware of the new machines, the drivers are different, and kernel panics, and non-upgradeable systems may persist afterwards. Macs have always in general can only run the system they shipped with and newer systems up to the limits of their hardware. If you must use an older version of an operating system for a software, find an alternative on:
    http://guide.apple.com/
    http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/
    http://www.macupdate.com/
    contact the vendor that is behind on their software development, or buy a used or refurbished Mac * which supports the operating system in question until you can upgrade all your software to be compatible with the operating system that ships with the new Mac. Sell the newer Mac unless you have need for software that will only run on it. Use my Identify your Mac FAQ* to determine the age of the machines you are looking for.

    By playing around I learned that if I kill transmission and any app that actively uses the USB disk prior to the sleep mode, and then start them after resume is finished and the disk is mounted (I use GNOME 3 in fallback mode, so it automounts the disk) everything works fine.
    Now, I could ignore those messages but it gets worse. Mostly laptop will hang at a random point in time after printing that wall of text on tty1. It might take hours, or even days before this happens. Sometimes I'll find transmission in a freezed state and I may survive a couple of sleep and resume cycles but I almost never will go as far as 4 days and more in a row. The laptop will hang eventually. And the only way to avoid this is to kill off apps that use external USB drive prior to going into sleep mode.
    Any ideas what's going on and how to fix this?

  • Invalid system disk when recovering from USB system image

    I have a Toshiba L650 running win7. The internal disk failed recently so I replaced it with one I bought  locally. I successfully  recovered the DVD based system image I took  soon after purchasing the laptop. I am now trying to
    recover later system images I made to an attached USB drive. I am using a system recovery disk to boot into the recovery process and am successfully finding the USB based system images. However soon after the recovery process begins I get an eror like "Cannot recover to system disk". There are 3 reasons provided
    a. system disk is in the exclusion list - no I checked
    b. system disk is a USB disk - no the system image is on the USB drive but the system disk is the internal HDD
    c. system disk is invalid - no I just installed a system image from DVD onto it - no problems
    How do I proceed? There is obviously a valid system image but I just can't get iti nto the machine.
       cheers,

    Usually such message appears if you try to boot from CD which is no bootable.
    Possibly the BIOS cannot boot up from the PCMCIA drive and tries to boot from the HDD.
    But on the HDD the OS is missing and therefore the message appears.
    Did you try to force the booting manually?
    You could try to press the C button immediately after the notebook starting for booting from PCMCIA drive.

  • Can I move my pictures in iPhoto from my system disk to an external drive like I can with iMovie?

    Can anyone help me migrate my digital photo collection from iPhoto on my system drive to an external drive to free up space on the system drive.

    By default the iPhoto library is in your pictures folder. It is a SQLite database and must always be treated as a single entity. Drag it intact as a single entity to an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled), depress the option key, launch iPhoto and use the select library command to select the new location. Once it is fully tested you can delete the old library

  • Safely copying files from Target Disk Mode to External USB. Advice?

    Just got a new iMac and transferred my system and important files to it from my old iMac. However, a partition on my old iMac has files I want to move to my new iMac so they can be included in Time Machine backups while others I want to move to another external hard drive since I have physical copies of most of those files elsewhere.
    I can connect my old iMac to the new via Target Disk mode and copy the critical files from Mac-to-Mac easily and quickly enough. What I want to know is if I’m safe to copy the other files from the TDM-connected iMac to a USB drive.
    I’ve read that having other devices connected to your Mac while another Mac is connected via TDM can result in corrupted files. Is this true? Is it unsafe to copy files from a TDM Mac to an external USB drive?
    If it is safe, is it best to connect the USB drive to the new Mac or to the old one while it’s in TDM? There’s a lot of data so I’m wondering about transfer times. One method would see files going over Firewire through the new iMac to a USB drive, while the other would go from TDM-connected Mac directly to a USB drive connected to its own USB port. That is:
    TDM iMac > New iMac > USB Drive connected to New iMac
    or
    TDM iMac > USB Drive connected to TDM iMac
    I have limited space on my internal drive and I also don’t want to copy-hop from TDM iMac to New iMac then copy from New iMac to USB drive. I'd like to go directly from old drive to external USB drive if it's safe.
    So I’m looking for advice on the best way to connect devices in order to cut down on copying time and number of copies, and to do it safely without corrupting data. Any advice is appreciated!

    I've used Migration Assistant already to move all of my immediately necessary data and settings over. This other data was on a separate partition and I'm unable to copy all of the data over to my new drive due to lack of space.
    Things are complicated by the fact that I need to change some of my externals over to Time Machine ready backups. Previously I was using 1 TB and a 2 TB drive for TM and another 2 TB drive for general backups/archiving. Now I need to juggle things around so that both 2 TB drives are for TM and the 1 TB is used for archiving.
    An important point I should have mentioned is that I can't use my old iMac normally due to a GPU problem that seizes the system up. This is the reason I can't just copy stuff directly from old iMac to external USBs.
    I'm interested to know if what I described above is safe and if there are any time savings or benefits for copying through my new iMac or connecting the externals directly to the old iMac in TDM.

  • How to upgrade system disk without reinstalling?

    Here's what I want to do: Buy a nice large new HD, copy my current system disk onto the new one, and then use the new one instead. I don't want to reinstall -- just do an image copy. However, I want the new disk to be larger. What is the most foolproof way of doing this?
    Can I boot off a CD, mount the system disk read-only, use disk copy to copy the system disk over to the new disk (even though the new disk is larger)?
    I'm sure the answer to this question is on this forum somewhere, but I looked and could not find it.
    Thanks much for suggestions.
    dm

    There's a couple of ways to do this. Assuming you want to add the HD to an internal slot, hook it up, following the instructions in your Setting up Manual (find it at http://search.info.apple.com/?search=Go&lr=lang_en&kword=&type=kmanual&newstype= &q=g5%20setting%20up), launch Disk Utility, select the HD, erase and format it for Mac OS Extended, selecting Options->zero out data, and quit Disk Utility. Once the HD's erased and formatted, do one of these:
    1. Launch Disk Utility, click on the restore tab, drag the current disk into the source window, the new HD into the destination window, and click Restore. This requires that the new HD is physically larger than the old HD.
    2. Use Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper!, etc. and make a bootable clone/backup of the current HD onto the new HD. This requires that the new HD is larger than the Used size of the old HD.

  • HP Laserjet 6MP: what do I need to save from old system?

    I recently moved from a G3 iMac running 10.2 to a G5 running 10.4. I have a great old HP Laserjet 6MP. Right now, my system is successfully printing (through an AsanteTalk box that goes from the printer to the Appletalk slot). It was able to find my printer, showing the name "Buster," a name which I had chosen a long time ago when I was on System 9. The only place where the name "Buster" appears in my files is on two ppd files on my external nonbootable backup disk, in the old "System Folder." One is in the Printer Preferences and the other in the Extensions in this old System Folder. I have several questions:
    1. Are these two files named Buster essential to my system being able to find my printer? I'm surprised that the system would have found the printer in the backup disk rather than through a newer driver on the current system.
    2. If the Buster files are essential, where should I put them on my current system? (I'd like to be able to remove the old system files from the external backup drive eventually.) Or do I just need to keep them where they are, on the backup disk?
    3. I've noticed there is an HP Laserjet 6MP driver on the new system. Would my system be able to find my printer with just this driver?
    4. Is there any danger of my system not being able to find the printer if I move these "Buster" ppds to a different folder on the backup disk?
    Thanks,
    Donna

    You should be able to use the printer independent of old system
    folders created in another computer at a different time. Perhaps
    the AppleTalk connection is why this old information comes up;
    presumably you are still using the printer via AppleTalk, and so
    that configuration must be running under Classic in OS X 10.4.
    The OS X 10.4.x Tiger system probably has excellent drivers;
    but you could use Gimp prints, too.
    Did you use the Migration Assistant to move from the old Mac
    to the newer one? If so, it copied over stuff; and any old alias
    or links to sources no longer available to the computer would
    be null and void, unless or until some other drive with old info
    relative to this were available.
    I'd change all that; and re-think the need to use AppleTalk,
    unless you have other hardware or needs only fulfilled with it.
    You should be able to get a good driver for the printer as a
    download, something newer than the printer's old one. The
    Gimp Print or gutenprint open source page has free drivers.
    There probably is something there to update the old printer.
    You may be able to move the printer driver from one system
    into another; but not sure how compatible that bit of old data
    would be in a newer OS X 10.4 system.
    Gutenprint - Gimp print:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
    Gutenprint supported printers lists your model:
    http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/pSupportedPrinters.php3
    I'm not sure about the rest of this question; in that the need
    for the configuration as it was has not been established as
    a single and valid way to go. You should be able to get newer
    drivers and consider other means to use the printer outside
    of AppleTalk, if necessary. There should be no need for the
    old system parts, if you can get a newer, better driver; etc.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Restoring mail after a crash from original system disk

    I recently had a system disk crash.  It was not hugely terminal - I can still read the contents of the drive, I just can't boot from it. 
    I have installed a new copy of osX on my computer and so I have an installation running and can see the old system disk as a hard drive on the finder. 
    I would like to retrieve my old mail files.  Can I do this?
    Alas time machine had a disk failure shortly before my system disk crash, and so I cannot restore from that backup.  It never rains, but it pours. 

    I agree with Akuma. It is definitely not Toshiba related issue and you should try to check some Microsoft forum and try to find final answer.
