HELP! Mac Wipe FAIL!?

Have no disk or itunes for the operating system as it's 6 years old and it was thrown away. Every time I resart it just brings up disk utility and it wont let me boot up with cmd+alt+r. I was wipingit for someone on ebay, I don't have a time machine or a back up and I really need help!

I had a similar problem when I migrated from a Macbook (old OS) to a Mac Air (OS 10.9).  The "fix" was to ensure that my computer system date was the right one - believe it or not.  The default system date was a year prior, and since I"ve updated it the correct date, no issues.

  • %CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_MAC_ERR: decrypt mac verify failed

    Hello,
    I know this question has been asked many times on the forum, I am constantly getting the below error message on my 2811 Router:

    I did some research and found the IOS is in the KAV list of bug#CSCsv43145. I upgraded the IOS to 12.4(25e) which doesn't appear in the list but still same error occurs.
    -is the error just cosmetic
    -is there anyway to go around it?
    I have attached the config.
    10x,
    E.B:.

    Hi,
    12.4(25e) should not be affected by CSCsv43145, which is cosmetic. The issue you are seeing is likely not cosmetic, and is actually resulting in dropped packets due to mac authentication failures. To troubleshoot this type of issue, you really need to get sniffer traces on the WAN (encrypted) side from both tunnel end points and compare the packet in question (based on the spi/seq number reported in the log) and see if the packet is corrupted somehow. There is no easy way to get around this other than turning off authentication check in your ipsec transform, in which case no mac authentication will be performed on the packet, and you do need to consider the security implications when doing that.
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks,
    Wen

  • .Mac login failed | Computers no longer registered with my .Mac account

    Ever since the new year 2007, I can't sync my two computers with my .Mac account. The account, ID, and password still function. However, the computers no longer show up as registered. I have 302 days left on my .Mac account.
    I always get a ".Mac login failed" error message. Does this have something to do with the date change.
    Any help? I need this function urgently.

    I too am having this very same problem. Have you found out how to fix this yet? I cannot sync with my Powerbook laptop or my .Mac account either. It also shows no registered computers when I know I've registered 3 of them. We pay alot of money to have the .Mac account and right now it is USELESS. VERY FRUSTRATED right now!

    Try removing the Genius database.  In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

  • New Desktop Manager for Mac - backup fails

    Each time I try to back up my Curve to my Mac, it fails when backing up "RMS Databases". I have to shutdown the Curve and restart it after each attempt. I'm currently running version 4.5.0.160 (I see there is a newer version, but can't install till I get a good backup).
    Has anyone got it to back up a Curve?
    Thanks,
    Des

    Hm.. that is weird. I can backup my "RMS Databases" on my Bold, when I click on Backup, and then choose "Selected data", and check only "RMS Databases".. I'm not sure what that database is, but if it shows that it has 0 records, then you might not have to worry about it.
    When you do a full backup, does it say "Backup data completed" though? It would say this at the bottom of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager window.... if it did, then it probably means it backed up everything except that database.
    You can confirm by doing a backup, and choose "Selected data", and then check all the databases, except for "RMS Databases"

    If so...
    Click on your iPhone in the left column of iTunes.
    Click on the "Summary" tab in the right colum of iTunes.

    QA: Yes
    Doc: No
    Details: Changed the port of bad-http channel in ConfigurationBasedTestCase, so checkintests work more consistently on Mac, on Mac port 88 is used by some process, thanks to John for figuring this out. With this change, checkintests on Mac are more consistent but there are 2 tests that are still intermittently failing.

    I removed the src/ directory and ran makepkg and it succeeded. Pacman -U kernel.pkg.tar.gz also worked. Now all that's left is rebooting and trying.
    Thanks everyone.
    OK, I guess it's not over yet. I rebooted in the new kernel, but it says it can't find /dev/sda3 (which is my / partition).
    This is my grub entry:
    title Arch Linux Gigamo
    root (hd0,2)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
    initrd /boot/kernel26-gigamo.img
    Okay well, I didnt realise there was a vmlinux26-gigamo as well. Will see if that fixes it.

  • I try to drag a photo folder into lightroom 4 on my MAC, lightroom fails to open and a 'Corrupt Catalog Detected' screen pops up.  Clicking on 'repair catalog' does not work either.  Any suggestions?

    I try to drag a photo folder into lightroom 4 on my MAC, lightroom fails to open and a 'Corrupt Catalog Detected' screen pops up.  Clicking on 'repair catalog' does not work either.  Any suggestions?

    I'll have to get a better instructor on deleting the preferences since when I've doen it in the past nothing is there when I open LR the catalog is gone. I assumed that was what was supposed to happen so I start importing all over again.  But that is a different issue...
    The problem has been happening since at least the beta of 3 came out and I saw other posts back then saying they had similar issues but I assume it was a beta thing...  But since the full version came out and through each incremental change I haven't seen an improvement. If anything it has gotten a little worse with time.
    I have to try to be careful to not be in a hurry and start clicking around in the catalog as it seems fragile until it has cataloged all the photos in the library. When starting you will see the numbers populate the folders very slowly and I try not to click on a folder that hasn't had the number of photos pop up yet. Also draging the slider down to see more of the cataloge can have the same affect and crash the system.
    I wish I had more to go on.. I believe it may be a resources issue but as I went from 3-4 Gig I thought it would get better. I don't have big programs running but did have outlook and word running in the background along with firefox and chrome.
    And yes it only happens on this HP desktop (it's 2+ yrs old) and may be showing it's age a bit. My laptop which has less resources doesn't have the issue.. I have them sharing the catalog. (not at the same time) just when I'm working in other places in the house.

  • My hard disk of mac has failed. How do i recover my data

    My hard disk of mac has failed. How do i recover my data

    Buy a good USB enclosure for your old drive.
    Then try something such as Data Rescue 3 (which I have successfully used and can recommend) or DiskWarrior to TRY to grab some of your data off the drive. How much data will depend on how damaged the drive actually is.
    Good luck,

  • Mac Mini fails to detect Aluminum Keyboard at Boot, Aka Support Keys

    I've recently had the misfortune of diagnosing a failing hard drive on a my Mac mini. This is a First Gen Intel Mac Min, 1.6ghz, so its about 2 years old now. I have recently purchased a new Aluminum Keyboard, as my older white Apple keyboard had started to have issues, ( some of the keys weren't working any more).
    When I started to go through the diagnostics I was concerned that my Mac mini was further in trouble than just a bad HD. As with each boot, the Mac would fail to recognize the standard startup keys, CMD+S, V, Or Even C, D. Nothing I tried could I get the Mac Mini to startup in any mode other than normal startup, which at this point was failing.
    I managed to dig out the original White apple keyboard, and plug it in, how ever with only partial keyboard access, trouble shooting was extremely limited.
    So the question that I have, is there a way to correct the Mac Mini so it recognizes the Aluminum keyboard during start up, or do I need to find a working white keyboard on E-bay?

    Only your friend can unlock it, either by giving you his Apple ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices - please see:

    There is no way at all it can be unlocked without his doing this.

  • Help Mac Help - "Discovering Your Mac" constantly reloads (flashing...)

    The problem:
    constant automatic repeated reload of help page
    Navigating the Menu to Help > Help Mac gives the "Mac Help" page as expected.
    On this page is a link "Work smart, play hard." headed "Discovering Your Mac".
    Clicking this link the "Discovering Your Mac" help page appears but is in a state of constant automatic repeated reload (as if the menu View > Reload were being constantly selected).
    This iBook G4 12" (MacOS X 10.4.4) is straight out of the Box purchased this week from Computerwarehouse.com.
    Main Question:
    Is this normal out of the box behaviour that just has to be patched or is this a fault that should prompt me to send back the iBook.
    Background:
    I bought a Mac for home use because I'm fed up with spending more time configuring Wintel PCs than using them.
    Surely a Mac should not do this out of the box - or am I being hopelessly naive.
    Comuterwarehouse’s solution:
    Purchased from Computerwarehouse (thank god I didn’t buy from PC World).
    Removed the cache folder “com.apple.helpui”. This didn’t work. There next suggestion is to update to 10.4.6. I am waiting to do this (they will post me CD since I’m on dialup at home and strict download restrictions at work). After this the suggestion is a complete reinstall.
    See http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2598465 for original post
    Have since updated to 10.4.6 using the combo update and the behaviour remains.
    Do I realy need to reinstal - I have a funny feeling this behaviour will remain after a reinstall.
    Any assistance greatly welcomed.
    Thanks in advance.
    Doug.

    Have updated to 10.4.6
    Looked at the troubleshooting HelpViewer link.
    Been through as many options as seem related.
    The iPhotoPhotocast.plugin is installed. Removing this and the cache files then restarting has no effect.
    Have verified the disk.
    But the MacHelp page does work when connected to the internet.
    MacHelp.help does link to the internet so perhaps updates itself. Do help files update them selves, or is the extra content just held in a cache file somewhere?
    What is the latest version of MacHelp.help?
    I have version 3000.8 159.6 MB created 26 Aug 2005 23:47
    It looks like this gets modified - last modified today 00:24.
    How can i reload just this help file.
    What is the current version of HelpViewer?
    I have 3.0.0 (144.1)
    Does help viewer get updated when you do an update? e.g. from 10.4.4 to 10.4.6.
    Just noticed 10.4.7 now available - another 65MB download on dial up and Apple refuse to send it on a CD to me.
    Would be intereseted in any answers on the help file version and how I get it.
    Thanks
    Doug.

  • My hard drive an my i.mac recently failed.  Fortunately I had everything back up to my Time capsule.  How do I start back ups again to this same capsule using Time Machine.

    My hard drive on my i.mac recently failed.  Fortunately it was backed up to Time Capsule using Time Machine.  I had a new hard drive installed. and reinstalled my data from the Time Capsule  How do I begin backups again using the same Time Capsule?  I want to back up my current hard drive with all current content.  I don't necessarily need what was on the old hard drive and pre-crash Time Capsule as everything there is currently residing on my i.mac's hard drive.  I just want to start my backups again.  Thank you.

    How do I begin backups again using the same Time Capsule?
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Time Machine
    Turn Time Machine "ON"
    Click Select Disk
    Choose your Time Capsule
    Click Use This Disk
    The first backup will begin in a few minutes.
    If you decide to delete your old backups, do this before you back up the "new" Mac as listed above.
    Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Disks tab at the top of the window
    Click Erase
    Choose the Quick Erase option
    Click Erase Disk
    The operation will only take a minute or two.....then, you can set up the first backup of the Mac as listed above.
