Fresh install, transfer information seems endless at 3 min. support apps.

Greetings Apple Discussions:
I did a fresh install of Leopard on a 250 GB HD. The working system on my primary 250 GB HD is Tiger. I prepped by verifying and then repairing permissions on Tiger before the install. During the install I opted to "transfer information", setting, files, etc., from Tiger to Leopard. The transfer went through all the stages in about a hour. Then it got to the point of "transferring files to support applications" about 3 minutes remaining. It has been here for maybe five to six hours. I am assuming this is my huge library of Soundtrack Pro and GarageBand loops. I think I have about 19,000 loops totalling maybe 14 to 19 Gigabits. I can't be sure about the size in Gigabits. Is this the point in transferring that the loops are transferred?
If it remains at this supposed stall, could I power down, reinstall Leopard, after another transfer, then manually transfer the loops and index them in GarageBand, which seem to be quicker than this process?
Aubrey

If you can stand it, you may want to let it run overnight If it's transferring that huge amount, then technically it may not be a stall at all. I'd let it run overnight personally. Powering down in the middle of an install is only asking for trouble......

Yosemite fresh install - an idea I am trying

I Upgraded Yosemite on my MBAIR mid 2013 and Al has worked. I did this as an early adopter the moment it appeared on the App Store.
HOwever ver it does seem slow and dropbox has Ben malfunctioning for three months despite copious support. Other things don't seem right either, like there is a an unfriendly ghost in the machine. So I google that a fresh install while not required may be desirable.
I Find that like all things tech mostly it works and sometimes it does not: other threads on here confirm this; extremes of experience good and bad.
I Have these same experiences. Including time machine backups that even a Genius cannot fix. You can imagine my reaction after al the exhortations to backup to/with time machine. Apparently one faulty folder meant the entire backup was lost.
I have too many tears and years of experience really still to use technology.
So the challenge is how to create a fresh install, to add all my setup, vast number of apps, test it and without resorting to time machine backups ( of which I have FOUR, two external disks and two NAS drives ) plus drop box and additional NAS drive sync (synology drives x 2 about 50 terabytes as one backs up the other) - imagine losing your NAS drive, regret drive two is not offsite, though in a different room)
I Am not convinced my dropbox is accurate nor my NAS sync: one reason for the fresh install.
SOlution I have "in play" is this and interested to hear guidance from experience:
UsB drive, erased with single write of zeroes, partitioned to journaled mac format. Partition about 650gb for MBAIR has 500gB SSD OEM.
Rstart MBAIR pressing command R , follow process choosing EXTERNAL drive to install Yosemite
and after overnight wait for the disk prep process zeroing, now at the point of having installed and asking for my applied. Do I give it or keep it 100% clean while I check the basic install works...... I elect for no sign in..... I want to know if the USB based system works and can reboot. Restarting... I altered password so I can tell which system I have booted from... 70 seconds to the password box....5 seconds from password to main screen...
SO now what? Install apps? So many. The ones I forget will plague me for days or weeks. Or transfer from time machine like its a new machine?
TTime to post this and see if anyone is around with some experience
AApologies for the typing, my iPad is not behaving ideally...

can't edit the above and my ipad would not allow any responses to the post edit dialogues so to continue with what I hope does not become an epic
my name is anthony, please ignore the handle (old long story - maybe one day I can easily fix it)
my first choice was to load mail.app enter my apple i.d., then system prefs icloud and tick the keychain box. There followed repetitive "certificates do not match - choose trust all, around 30 times over once for each email account (I have many). Also enter system password, note to self next time make system password blank for install process. Doing this now for the rest of the process. Yes I am sure (response to a prompt)
So, email has re-installed all (?) of my email accounts with settings (thanks to icloud methinks) saving a huge amount of time compared to past re-installs (thank you icloud) and downloaded 42,000 messages (nearly all imap so as to sync across devices) - I feel a degree of relief already and do not feel that terrible stress feeling when all I have is a backup and no original working system (which is of course still on the MBA's SSD).
When asked about time machine targets: ignore/cancel so as not to interfere with original MBA backups.
Next (concurrently in fact) install Chrome to get back all my bookmarks (thousands). I occasionally try Safari, but struggle because of my time investment in Chrome and it doesn't integrate, imports are not at all the same thing.)
So let's try a restart and compare the timings. ... this is without any apps being reinstalled (as opposed to browser)...

Fresh Install, Apps Window Blank, Why?

Why is it that a fresh install of Creative Cloud Desktop would cause a blank App window at two different clients on two different imacs? I need to roll this out and cannot.
Deleting the oobe file has not worked. Reinstalling CC desktop has not worked.
Why would I even need to do all that to get the damn software to work? Shouldn't it just work at the very least allow you to install applications?

Please refer to the help document and threads below where this issue stands resolved:
1. App doesn’t open | Progress wheel spins continually
2. Re: Adobe Creative Cloud / Desktop App / Home Screen: Constant Spinning Wheel
3. Re: Cant see my apps in creative cloud, just a spining wheel (Refer to my 1st post)
As observed the second solution in
App doesn’t open | Progress wheel spins continually
Is the most effective one, I would request you to read the precaution too prior to using it.

I just purchased a macbook pro and was wondering about an install disk. It seems to be missing some of the applications that should be on it from a fresh install. I was wondering if I would have to purchase a new OS and do a fresh install?

Ahhh, well you never mentioned that before. You need to contact your friend from whom you purchased the computer. He/She should have any and all install discs for any third-party software included as well as for OS X and the original pre-installed software.
Apple will gladly sell you replacements for any discs that did come with the computer originally, but they will not do anything for you because you purchased the computer used. If it's in warranty still, then you can get any warranty covered things taken care of through AppleCare:

Fresh install keybinds stop responding [solved]

Hi there,
I've recently been having some issues with Arch. I did a fresh install because I'm running on a chromebook and need as much space as possible only have a 14GB SSD at present until I get round to upgrading it.
I previously installed Arch (i386) with no such issues, but I've recently switched to i3 WM and x86_64 using this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ch … tion_media. Last week I also installed a custom chrome patch
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ch … .27_Script and everything was working fine with this. I did a fresh installion of Arch about an hour ago and I'm mentioning this because it allowed me to install Arch 64bit directly from the dual ISO without having to modify the ISO itself so I'm not sure if that's the issue considering the 32bit installation worked from the same ISO.
Now I have some strange issues. Keybinds work fine when I boot up but when I open urxvt it seems to stop all my binds working. Similarly the same issue happens when I run dmenu and open chrome. Sometimes I can open multiple instances of the aforementioned before it stops working. The mouse icon changes as if it's trying to load something, but nothing opens and absolutely no binds work.
I've tried other WM's and get the same issues with urxvt and dmenu.
I have searched google but can't seem to find any related issues so I'm at a loss as to where to begin.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

It seems that the use of dmenu causes things to hang. I'll reboot and wait a few minutes and see if it automatically does it.
I have not modified any files since installation except enabling wicd and slim with systemctl and the modifications to .xinitrc.
Thanks for the information. I'll bear that in mind.
Edit:
So I rebooted and left the system for five minutes. After that I ran dmenu using alt+d (as defined in i3 config). Dmenu would not open and changed the mousekey to the loading icon and no other bindings would work again.
So I believe that the issue is definitely with dmenu.
Edit 2:
So a little bit more information on dmenu. I have installed it with every installation. My system is 64bit and I have enabled multilib. I installed it through pacman.
I'm going to disable multilib and re-install.
Edit 3:
Same issue. Actually seems worse now.
Edit 4:
I'm wondering if it could be due to this section of .i3/config?
# start dmenu (a program launcher)
bindsym $mod+d exec dmenu_run
# There also is the (new) i3-dmenu-desktop which only displays applications
# shipping a .desktop file. It is a wrapper around dmenu, so you need that
# installed.
# bindsym $mod+d exec --no-startup-id i3-dmenu-desktop
Edit 5:
Okay so after some testing it seems to be i3. I've re-installed, using the i3-git package from AUR. I'm installing Yeganesh and I'll see now how this plays out.

Fresh install of Server 2012 R2 causes inaccessible boot device on first Reboot

Hello Everyone,
Doing a fresh install of Windows Server 2012 R2 on a SuperMicro X9DRT-HF+ motherboard based server. The server is using iSCSI boot, setup detects the iSCSI disk and copies its files, finishes the "Getting files ready for installation" "Installing
Updates" phase, reboots, takes a while and eventually gives a Blue screen with Inaccessible Boot Device error. I have tried some changing options in the BIOS, I've had Nimble (storage array) support on the phone and they confirmed the setup is correct
but for some reason after the first reboot Windows can no longer find its install files and gives a BSOD.
Additional Information:
Server: SuperMicro X9DRT-HF+ (no internal disk)
Storage: iSCSI disk provided from Nimble CS220 Array
Windows 2008 R2 Server installation will proceed without any problems.
I checked the \Windows\Panther\Setupact.log / CBS.log file and there doesn't seem to be anything indicating a problem.
I have googled a number of times to find solutions but most articles reference a similar problem after installing a particular KB (which shouldn't be the case here). Need some help :)

Hey Tim,
Thanks for your reply, since the start of this post I have also installed MDT to try a different approach to installing the OS. Using MDT I have injected the Intel I350 driver into the installation so it should be restarting with the driver loaded.
The odd thing is that when the server reboots the Windows startup screen loads for about 4 minutes before it gives the INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error. This would indicate to me that it sees the disk and tries to boot from it but then something goes wrong.
Other than the \Windows\Panther location is there another place I should be looking for log files during this part of the Windows install? I have reviewed all the locations listed under the TechNet library article "hh824819" (I can't post
a link to the article but a google search brings it up) but I can't seem to find a log of when the server crashes what it is doing at that point.

I'm on a dell d620 laptop, about 5 or so years old or more. I was on XP and things worked fine until I some random windows update from the auto-updater installed and I had issues. Thinking this would not happen on Win7 and wanting to upgrade anyway I went to Win7 and I still have the same issue, except I dont: now Itunes doesn't stall it just doesn't see the iphone and try to synch. It would stall at synching. I read somewhere to delete podcasts which I did which I think worked itunes doesn't see the phone. Windows does and I can see and transfer photos and movies but no itunes syncing.
thanks guys for the help,

Macbook Pro stuck in restart loop with fresh install

Hello!
I have a Macbook Pro (Mid 2009) that I have been running Snow Leopard on up until now. I had been meaning to upgrade to Mavericks for a while, but had just never gotten around to it. Over the last month or so, my Macbook has been running really slow, hanging on the spinning beachball every few minutes for a few seconds (sometimes up to a minute or so). So I figured a clean start might be the best way to go, and while I'm at it, I might as well upgrade to Mavericks.
I backed up all my data, and then I created a Mountain Lion bootable usb (I had trouble making a Mavericks bootable usb from Snow Leopard, and since I had bought Mountain Lion for my desktop, I just decided to do a fresh install of that, and then upgrade to Mavericks). I had no problem booting to the usb, erased my hard drive and did a fresh install of Mountain Lion. However, after the install on the usb, my mac restarted and got stuck in a restart loop. It will chime, show the apple logo and spinning gears for a few seconds, then the gears stop spinning, and then the mac immediately restarts (this time displaying a message saying the mac has recovered from a shutdown in a number of languages), and the same thing happens again.
I was able to boot into the recovery partition, checked the permissions, found some that needed to be fixed, ran the repair permissions, verified the disk and was told the disk appears okay. Tried to then restart and same thing.
I have reset SMC, NVRAM, and none of these change anything. I booted in single user mode and ran fsck -fy, and recieved a message saying modifications were made, rebooted, same thing.
I have booted in verbose mode and the system restarts at the same point every time, right after displaying a message that says
SMC::smcReadKeyAction Error: (and then something with "BEMB", it goes by really fast so its hard to read exactly)
I have managed to boot into safe mode, but this has not made a difference. On one of my boots into safe mode, I went ahead and made a Mavericks bootable usb, and restarted the process: wiped the drive, installed mavericks, but I am in the exact same situation. I can still boot into safe mode.
I have seen some other issues that people have posted, but most involve the system freezing after the apple screen (not restarting) or do not involve freshly formatted HDs.
I'm just tying to find out if this is a hard drive issue, or if my mac itself needs to be retired. It has had a pretty long life (being 5 years old), and one of the RAM bays doesn't work (it is only running 4GB of ram, not sure if that can cause a problem with the boot cycle).
Sorry if thats a lot of information, I've been trouble shooting this for a few days. But thanks for any help you can offer!
A strange note:
-when booting from the mavericks usb, I got stuck in the restart loop a couple of times. I managed to get past this by clicking the mousepad a few times right after the gears finished spinning. The mouse became visible, the apple screen shifted color a bit (went from a bluish gray tint to an orangish gray tint), the mouse became visible, and I got to the reinstall menu as normal. As far as I can tell the clicking may have been coincidental, but it was the only time I was able to boot the usb, and I wasn't going to risk restarting to test that, and then not be able to boot again.

Hey, thank you for your reply! I didn't have everything backed up, but I have a lot of my important stuff saved, though, so that's somewhat of a relief..
As far as my hard drive is concerned, would I have to send it in somewhere to get it fixed or would I just have to get a brand new one? If so, how much? Sorry if I seem a bit amateur, but this computer is my first personal computer, and I'm really lost without it!

Fresh install of 10.4.7 and crash and burn! A little help would be nice.

I did a fresh install of 10.4.7, there is no old information from the old system over to this new one. No user account info, not even desktop backgrounds yet...
Everything has been done from scratch, the only updates I have done are the 10.4.7 combo updater, and the generic ones on Software Update. I downloaded the 10.4.7 combo updater so to not do the incremental one since it seems to me that the incremental one sometimes can cause issue.
In any case, after the computer has been put to sleep any Apple application that has been left open, such as DVD Player, iTunes, iPhoto, and of the like stop responding. I am forced to hard shut down my machine because when I try to shut down my computer via the menu bar, the computer freezes completely.
I don't have any 3rd party software on this computer yet, nor will I till this is solved.
This is my computer:
Dual 1.25G4
2GB ECC Ram
One 250GB Seagate HD 16MB Cache
One 250GB Maxtor HD 8MB Cache
One Seagate HD 80GB HD 8 MB Cache
Radeon 9600 Pro Mac/PC Card.
Nothing else... so my computer shouldn't be showing these problems as far as I am concerned... it is probably a preference, but I can't image it to be so because of the fact that All Apple applications seem to be infected with this plight all at the same time.
I can't bring the computer to be repaired since it is out of warrantee, but to me it seems like there is an issue, and I can't fantom what the problem is in the first place.
Any help would be appreciated.
Dual 1.24 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Matthew:
I am assuming that this installation was on an internal HDD.
Did you use a Full Retail Version and not a computer specific or update version to install?
What method/option did you use to do the basic installation?
Did your Repair Disk Permissions before and after installation.
I am not suggesting that you did or did not do any of these things. Just trying to establish a base.
Good luck.

New Hard Drive and Fresh Install

I have a late 2006 iMac and I bought an internal 1TB hard drive today to upgrade it. I initially thought to clone my current internal drive to the new one, but I figured that doing a fresh install of Leopard would give better performance. I have a USB adapter for this new drive to connect it externally (temporarily).
My question is... What is the best way to copy my information if I do a fresh install on the new drive? I do have another external drive with a Time Machine backup and I know how to copy over my iTunes library to another computer (I did it with my MacBook) but how would I copy all my other information? The things most important to me are Mail with all my e-mails and accounts and iPhoto with all my pictures. I can copy all my other folders no problem. But like I said, what I'm concerned about most is my Mail and all my pictures. Would all the albums in iPhoto be kept? Basically, I would like to make the new drive as cloned as possible to the original one while doing a fresh install.
Thanks.

I also just purchased a 1TB Internal hard drive - Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm - and used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my original hard drive (which is running Tiger). Everything seems to be normal, except the the long boot up process. The desktop appears, the dock appears, and then there is a long pause of 20 to 30 seconds before the drives mount and and the desktop folders appear. I have 10 gigs of RAM, I have rebuilt the Directory with Disk Warrior 4.1, and also repaired the disk permissions (although some of them state that they can't be repaired). When I reboot from my original 250 Gig hard drive, the boot is lightning fast. Any thoughts? I have many third party software programs installed and am trying to avoid a fresh Leopard Install. Thanks, this is my first post!

Macbook acting wierd even after fresh install of OS

i've got a 13" macbook i've had for a couple of years. i've had no problems with it until about a month ago when it started acting weird. it was becoming very slow and crashed regularly when i tried to run simple applications like itunes or safari. even when i tried to shut it down, it sometimes gave me that message on the screen where it informes you to hold down the power button to shut down.
i decided to do a complete re-install of my osx to give it a fresh start. so having re-installed leopard, and with nothing on my hard drive apart from the pro tools and cubase programs i've re-installed (it won't be these as they're both legit programs that i've been using on this mac for 2 years), it still seems to crash and not shut down properly.
i've actually done another clean re-install a couple of days ago to see if this made a difference, but sti ll the same problems.
i was under the impression that any viruses or bugs that we're making my mac act weird would have been wiped when i done a fresh install of my os.
can anyone tell me where i'm going wrong?
thanks

It's not a virus.
The screen you see (that requests you to restart your computer) is referred to as a kernel panic; these are often hardware-related.
What you're describing sounds like a possible hard drive failure.
Have you run the Apple Hardware Test? Is your computer still under warranty?
Get your data backed up, if you haven't already, just in case!

[Solved] Amilo XI 2550 - Black screen after fresh install

Dear archlinux users,
I have been reading the archlinux wiki and forums since I started using arch several years ago. It was always possible to solve the problems I ran into by consulting these webpages, therefore a big thanks to the community for the provided help.
Two weeks ago I installed arch on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo XI 2550. The first problem I ran into was that booting the live-cd resulted in a black screen and I could not even start with installing arch. This problem was solved with the kernel parameter 'nomodeset'.
The first boot of the freshly installed arch also resulted in a black screen after the GRUB menu which was perfectly displayed. After some searching (here and here and ...) I plugged in an external monitor and it showed the login screen. I then installed KDE because I thaught the problem might not show up with X and KDE running. After the login to KDE I realized that the brightness of the laptop display is nearly black but not totally. It seems as if the brightness is at a very low level, but brightness cannot be controlled with the Fn+F8 or Fn+F9 commands. But I see a OSD that indicates that the controls are used but without effect. So at the moment it is only possible to work on the laptop with another display connected to it.

Until now and amongst others I tried the following things.
Using kernel parameters
video.use_native_backlight=1
video.use_native_backlight=0
acpi_osi=linux
acpi_backlight=vendor
and others I just cannot remember.
Masking backlight
systemctl mask systemd-backlight@backlight:acpi_video0.service
systemctl mask systemd-backlight@backlight:radeon_bl0.service
Setting bl_power
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/bl_power
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/radeon_bl0/bl_power
Nothing of the above was improving the situation.
Your help on the problem would be highly appreciated.
Best regards

Hello Trilby,
thanks for the reply.
Trilby wrote:If nomodeset worked with the installation medium, why haven't you tried that for the same problem on your installed system?
The kernel parameter 'nomodeset' results in a working display but without X support, due to the fact that with 'nomodeset' there is no KMS support and therefore no X. But nevertheless I tried it and as expected X did not start.
Trilby wrote:Could you also post information about your graphics card and what drivers you've installed.
The graphics card is a Radeon HD 2700 and according to the above dmesg log it is recognized as RV 630. The radeon module is loaded via /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and xf86-video-ati (1:7.5.0-1) is installed.
I hope the provided information is what you asked for, thanks for your help.

Trouble updating fresh install of CS5.0 on Mac

Hi,
I am in a corporate environment with CLP licenses of Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS5.0. Because we use some very expensive plugins, along with InDesign Server, and are connected to a database publishing program, there are a lot of dependencies preventing us from upgrading at this time.
Recently we have upgraded our Macs to OSX 10.9.2 from Snow Leopard without incident. All existing licenses were preserved and work correctly. However one of the Macs, a 27" IMac needed to have a fresh install of Mavericks for reasons unrelated to this post. I was able to install the Suite and open each application without issue from the original electronic dowload file. However, attempts to update the suite using the built-in AAME update method fails with each attempt, due to download errors. So one question is, is this because of something Adobe did that changes the download location, or do I have some sort of security blocking downloads of this nature from Adobe? (I did set preferences to permit non-Apple Store downloads.)
I can search for the individual updates and find them with a search. I updated Bridge successfully using this method. I then attempted to update Illustrator to 15.0.2, and it appeared to be successful. However, following this Illustrator would no longer open. It had an X through the application and a message appeared on opening that this version of Illustrator would not open on this type of Mac. Is there a particular order in which I must install these updates? As I write, I have unistalled the Suite, reinstalled it to the point where no updates have been attempted.
Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Thanks for the reply, Jeff. The download errors I am receiving are generic, 'download error, try again' type of thing. I did disable Mac's security preference. I also spoke to our IT group about the possibility of things being blocked, but since I can download the updates directly from Adobe, they didn't think I was being blocked. It's hard to determine if the Application Manager is downloading those from some other location that is blocked compared to the manual download location-. So just before I received your answer, I began installing the individual updates, taking a guess as to an optimal order, leaving Bridge, with its shared dependencies until after the core updates were in there. I actually found that some manual updates failed, and these were only successful through AAME after most of the others were installed manually. Here, with all its warts is how I eventually got it all updated, in case anyone else runs into this. Seems like Adobe may have moved things around so that the AAME can no longer find what it needs. I was also informed by Adobe that telephone support for CS5 has ended.
Installed Illustrator 15.0.2 manually, opened successfully
Installed InDesign 7.0.4 manually, opened successfully
Installed Photoshop 12.0.4 manually, opened successfully
Installed Flash Pro CS5 11.0.2 manually, opened successfully.
Installed Dreamweaver 11.0.4 manually, restarted computer. Extension Manager opens then quits unexpectedly.
Installed Extension Manager 5.0.3 manually, permitting extensions updating in Mavericks
Opened Dreamweaver, Extension Manager then worked and finished installing extension.
Installed Adobe Fireworks 11.0.2 manually and opened successfully.
Installed Adobe Media Encoder CS5 5.0.1 AME_5.0.1_multiple_Mac.dmg manually successfully
Installed Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.5 update manually successfully
Attempted Install of Adobe Player for Embedding 3.1 AdobeAPE3_mul_AdobeUpdate.dmg. failed
Attempted Install of Adobe XMP Panels AdobeXMPPanelsAll-AdobeUpdte.dmg failed
Attempted to get the rest of the way by installing through AAME the remaining pieces. All installed successfully except Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5 and Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7 update and Adobe Player for Embedding 3.1
Installed Adobe Pixel Bender Tookit 2.5 manually successfully.
Installed Camera Raw 6.7.1 manually. (should have been 6.7, but it went in.)
Checked for more updates. Updater still said Adobe 6.7 required and Adobe Player for Embedding.
Ran AAME one more time and Adobe Player for Embedding was installed successfully.
Left 6.7.1 alone despite prompt in AAME to put in 6.7.

Skype crashing on a freshly installed windows 7

Hi,
I made a fresh install of Windows 7 after switching to an SSD a couple of hours ago, but I can't seem to get Skype to work, it freezes and gives me the "Skype has stopped working" dialog. I have updated to IE11 as suggested in one of the posts, I also removed Raptr as suggested in a fairly recent post (it installed itself along with my graphic drivers). Below is the exact error I am getting and I will also attach a DxDiag(in a .zip, seems txt files are not allowed as attachments here).

EDIT: Solved by deleting the Skype directory in Appdata/Roaming.

The Bootcamp/Windows installer silently installs BC drivers that support Apple Hardware (Keyboard, Wireless, Trackpad, etc...), but it may have failed.
Download appropriate drivers for your Mac year/model from Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support to a USB2 flash drive and run setup.exe from Bootcamp folder to install/repair drivers as described in Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers.

Fresh install, transfer information seems endless at 3 min. support apps.
