GONE FROM DEVICE NOT CONFIGURED TO BROKEN MACHINE. PLEASE HELP!
HELP!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I read a post in response to a query from someone who I had similar issues to and copied these items;
/System/Library/Extension.kextcache
and
/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernalcaches/
to my desktop, removed them from their folders and restarted. Well, tried to restart.
The grey screen came up with the spinning gear and apple logo, then black text over laying that saying something about a stack error. I can't start my machine at all, not even from the OSx disk. It gets to Preparing Installation and keeps on spinning!
If any one can help I'd be eternally grateful. I can't believe this has happened!
Cheers

You would have to boot in single-user mode, mount the filesystem and copy the files back into the extensions fiolder. I'm not going to type the whole procedure out here but some Googling will get you the exact instructions.
If you have your OSX installer disk "System Restore" might fix it. If not, there is a Terminal application on the Installer disk that would be easier to use than Single-user mode.
In any case, you are really dealing with one file since the cached file is probably irrelevant.

hi
ive recently downloaded firefox 2.0 and some openoffice onto my ibook, but when I try to launch the .dmg files i get a 'device not configured' error message. can anyone help? apologies if this is far too easy.
thanks in advance
johnNot sure about FireFox specifically, but .dmg files should open and expand/mount automatically when you double-click on them. Make sure FireFox completely downloaded the file, and use Get Info from the File menu to check permissions to make sure you have read/write access to the file. If that doesn't work, try launching Disk Utility to see if it will recognize and mount the file from there, or see if you can verify the CheckSum (basically make sure the file is not corrupt).
Other than that, I'm stumped. -
All DMG files "device not configured"??
Alright, this just did start happening. All the dmg files that i try to open, i get the same error. A warning box comes up, and it says, "The following disk images failed to mount" Then it lists the name of the device, example..."vlc-0.8.5.dmg"...and then shows a reason, which is, for all of them, "device not configured". I also get errors when trying to update to the newest os x as well. Anyone know what to do?

Open Error 6: Device not configured
I recently had my hard drive replaced and restored to factory settings. I then used a time machine backup and the Migration Assistant to get everything I had back to where it belonged.
Things worked for a day or so, but with a few crashes here and there. Yesterday, I tried to use iTunes and kept getting an error message about the database (-50, unable to mount database). The problem is that the whole system would freeze and I had to shut down and restart every time. Sometimes I could load the OS, sometimes not. This morning I ran Disk Utility to verify the disk (it passed) and the permissions. When I tried to repair permissions, I got hundreds of messages like this : "Open Error 6: Device not configured on" and then a list of paths, such as "System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/POSIX/getgrgld.al", and "System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/share/ri/....." etc. Literally hundreds of those messages.
Does anyone know what this means? And how should I fix it?!?
Thanks!I'm going to suggest that you ask in the Snow Leopard forums here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=263
This is likely a system software error, and the SL gurus that hang out over there might have suggestions for you.
Good luck! -
Ciscoworks - devices "not configured in ACS"
Hi all,
Can anyone explain why Ciscoworks places some new devices in the above category even when the device config, ACS, etc is all configured correctly? I have a handful of devices that keep going into this category and there is nothing I can do to stop it happening - it is a real hassle as you have to then set CW to non ACS mode restart the daemon, delete the entries etc etc.
If anyone can describe how I can get CW to manage such devices properly and possibly even tell me how to stop it happening in the future it would be of great help.
Many thanks in advance (though I know some of you would rather have points ;-)
ScottHi Scott ,
Device will fall to " Devices not Configured in ACS " only in 2 condition :
1. Device is actually does not Exist in ACS
2. It EXist in ACS with different IPADDRESS or HOST NAME.
There is no direct way to delete these devices once they are on the Not Configured
in ACS list. However, one workaround is:
Step 1. Create a dummy NDG group in ACS to include these devices.
Step 2. Delete the devices in DCR and then in ACS.
Note: In order to delete a device from DCR we need to follow this procedure:
1.- Go to Common Services >> Devices and Credentials >> Reports >>
Devices that are not configured in ACS and generate a report.
2.- Now that we have all the devices that we want to delete, please go to
Common Services
>> Device and Credentials >> Device Management and select all the devices
from CS (Common Services database).
3.- Click on Delete and a confirmation message will pop, agree to this.
I hope this will help you
Thanks

Disk Utility Restoring Error - Device not Configured
Hi all,
A mate has given me a USB flash drive that doesn't work. I tried to create an backup image using Resuce Pro from SanDisk and it came up with a NDIF file. What I then did was partioned an external hard drive and restore using the image as source and the new partition as destination. 2 seconds later an error comes up saying restore error, could not validate source - device not configured. Am I the only one that has this problem or have I done anything wrong during the process?
Cheers,
KeefeNDIF is an obsolete format. You'd probably have to convert it to some kind of DMG first (Images > Convert.)

Cisco Works "Devices not configured in ACS"
Hi!
I have instaled Cisco Works ver. 4.3.1
I have added using the Device Discovery, my devices. Some of them where not configured already on ACS with the loopback address, that was the one on the discovery configurations. Because of that, i could not manage those devices, althoug i could authenticate on them. I then updated the ACS with the loopback address, and configured the router's to authenticate using the source-interface of the loopback.
The problem is that i keep not being able to manage this devices on the cworks, because the are still as "Devices not configured in ACS".
Can anyone help me here?
Regard's
Miguel AmaralHi,
This happens, when you integrate the ciscoworks with ACS and Router/switches not configured with ACS. Try to reconfigure the device in ACS, try removing and adding it again in common services...Try for a single device and check it out... Try stopping/starting cw services after that // net stop crmdmgtd, net start crmdmgtd. Revert with the results.. -
I deleted unwanted photos from my iPhoto library, emptied iPhoto trash & Finder trash... this did not free up disk space. please help!
I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro (Late 2011) with OS X Mavericks 10.9.5
Last week, my 500 GB Harddrive had 120 GB free space. I was feeling crumby and decided to make productive use of taking a day off to lounge around. I snuggled up with my laptop and dedicated hours to meticulously combing through my iPhoto Library. I had 13,000 pictures, and I got rid of those I didn't want. Having said "sayōnara" to about 6,500 pictures, I then emptied the iPhoto trash and the Finder trash. I took delight in the iconic paper crumpling sound of them vanishing into the digital void.
Everything seemed perfect: the photos I loved were still there, the photos I loathed were gone, both trashes were beautifully empty. Having thrown away all of those awful, boring, and unflattering images of poorly light lunches and selfies gone wrong, my iPhoto library was half the size as before! I felt renewed, a little lighter, somehow more free, and I expected my hard drive to be a bit different to.
I eagerly checked my storage stats. My heart sank to see that my 120 GB of free space, was still only 120 GB of free space. I restarted my MacBook; this did not help. I restarted it the next day; this also did not help. It's been 5 days and the hard drive still has 120 GB free space. This is not an emergency and it will probably be a good while before I clutter my laptop to the brim. Yet while I am glad I don't have to see cringeworthy pictures of my ex's unmentionables every time I'm showing off things I do want to remember, I'm still disappointed and now obsessed with solving this mystery.
What is going on? I don't see them, so where are they hiding? How do I get the free space I should have earned from throwing away 1,000's of photos?!Thank you, Terence!
Yes, I only emptied the trash when it was really full, once I waited until the trash cans contained 2,600 photos and then I emptied them - Oooops! In the future, I'll keep in mind your suggestion of deleting less than 100 photos at a time.
I downloaded the iPhoto Library Manager and used it to rebuild my iPhoto. After a few hours of rebuilding, it generated a new copy of my iPhoto Library. This versions was nearly identical to the original (it was missing 5 photos and was therefore only 5 mb smaller). I guess my Library wasn't defective.
I checked my storage stats, and interestingly, using iPhoto Library Manager did help with the problem that developed after I re-indexed my hard drive. My hard drive is able to properly recognize data categories again, instead of listing almost everything as "Other". Understandably, my free disk space changed from 120 GB to about 60 GB, because my hard drive now contained a second copy of my iPhoto Library as well as iPhoto Library Manager. It seemed like all I needed to do was throw these away, but when I emptied the trash, my problem was not solved. My Hard drive now looked like this:
It appears to me that when I empty the trash, the things I throw away are just hanging around as backups instead of leaving! I went into System Preferences and turned of my time machine OFF. Now my hard drive looks likes this:
The back ups of the iPhoto files, and the program which I deleted, are still on my hard drive some where but now they are listed as "Other" instead of "Backups". Do you know where they might be and how I can delete them for good? -

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone. When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option. Please help.
If the album was synced to your phone from your computer, it can only be removed by sycing it off. To do this, deselect the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync.
