    How can I fix an invalid sibling link error message without my original install disk?

    Hi Jeff,
    It's not even likely the Install Disc could fix that, but if you want to try...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

    You must repair the HD, your best bet is likely DiskWarrior.

    Finally, you should run DiskWarrior if your Mac explicitly warns you of a problem with your disk in the form of an error message. Most of these errors are reported by the built-in Disk Utility whether your Mac OS X version is 10.3 Panther, 10.4 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard or 10.7 Lion. Here are some of the most common messages:
    Disk Repair: The disk was not repairable by this computer. It is being made available to you with limited functionality. You must back up your data and reformat the disk as soon as possible.
    The underlying task reported failure on exit.
    Invalid node structure.
    Keys out of order.
    Invalid key length.
    Invalid directory item count.
    Invalid extent entry.
    Invalid record count.
    Invalid index key.
    Invalid sibling link.

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

  • How do I fix the "Invalid Signature" problem?

    I keep getting this error message everytime I try to update my software to 10.6.3. I've even tried the suggestion of a manual download and it still says the same thing. Does it make any difference to say that my iTunes and accompanying music are saved on an external hard drive? I've never had this issue before.

  • This is an error from my HP scanner. How can I fix the problem? An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only.

    I recently uploaded the Maverick operating system. I wanted to scan some things on my HP Printer/Scanner and could not . This is the error message I received: An  error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to.   Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only. I am a novice with the computer and have no one to help. I hope someone knows an easy fix.
    Thank you

    This worked for me:
    "Although it is not a 'fix' for the HP issue, I did find a workaround that helped me. In the Preferences Panel in MacOS X you can pull up the Printer/Scanner preferences and scan directly from OS X. I'd not known of this prior to posting here and it worked like a charm."
    "Of course, HP should still update their software, but it's good to know that Apple has it covered for them."

    does anyone know a simple way of fixing this, all i wanted was to put music on my new iphone and i got this instead help please!

    What exactly is the problem you are having?
    Do you miss the Sidebar?
    You can turn it back on here:
    View (in the Menu bar) > Show Sidebar or Command+Option+S
    If you have iOS 7 devices you will need iTunes 11 or later to sync.

  • How do I fix the "iTunes stopped working" error?

    Everytime I restore my iphone i get this .... The title says it all.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Buy or borrow an external USB optical drive.

  • Satellite C655 - how to fix the hard drive input plug?

    I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite C655 could I fix the hard drive input plug because somebody snapped it off and also the start button was removed off the board.
    Could anyone let me know by email [email protected] if I can please explain how?
    Also have a Toshiba U300 which is flicking screen then turns blue and switches off and on by itself.

    > I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite C655 could I fix the hard drive input plug because somebody snapped it off and also the start button was removed off the board.
    Do you mean the SATA connector on the motherboard? Is it broken?
    Well, I dont think its easy to fix. If something is broken on the motherboard, then mostly you will need an new motherboard or you would ask an specialist (electronics technician) for help.
    > Also have a Toshiba U300 which is flicking screen then turns blue and switches off and on by itself.
    Try to clean the cooling ventilators using compressed air spray. Mostly the notebook switches OFF automatically due to higher temperature and cleaning cooling fans can help to get better cooling performance.

  • Disk drive goes to 100% busy when starting Elements...How do I fix the problem?

    I've been successfull running elements for the past few years.  Now, the drive goes to 100% and locks up the computer.  Elements seems to start-up, but the drive crashes the system.  Cannot use Elements 11 at this time.  How do I fix the problem?

    If you've been using the program successfully for years and suddenly your drive is crashing, I'd first check the drive itself. They do go bad after a couple of years.
    I'd also run a registry cleaner, Disk Cleanup, a Disk Defragmenter and maybe even a good virus scan.
    YOu don't say which version of Premiere Elements you're using, what operating system you're on or how old your computer is, but computer's do need regular maintenance and hardware sometimes needs to be replaced.

  • How Can I Fix The Graphics Issue...?

    After having my computer for a few years, it started getting an artifact around the mouse, and when it did that, everything was frozen, key commands didn't work, and I would have to manually shut it down.
    I went to the Apple store, and they couldn't get it to boot, even with their external drive. The guy at the Apple store took my computer into the back, and a few minutes later, brought it out. He said he had gotten it to boot, without their external drive, but wouldn't tell me how. He said there was a problem with my video card. He said $400 to fix it.
    Not having the money, I left. A friend told me how to safe boot the computer, and now it will turn on, despite the artifacts and graphics problems. Why didn't the guy at the store tell me this? It's obviously the only way he could have booted it. He wanted to charge me $50 to back up my data, when I could do it myself under the safe boot.
    The thing is, when using safe boot, I have no audio or video functionality- the camera doesn't work, the speakers don't work, and the disc drive doesn't work. I've read up on this, and it's an issue for a lot of macs, from about the time I bought mine. They say there was too much glue used somewhere in the computer (2 or 3 little chips with too much glue or something), and over time the glue/ adhesive gets too hot, and spreads to other areas and ruins them (ie. my graphics card). That's my simplified understanding of the issue, anyway.
    Why won't Apple replace it for me? They won't let me trade it in, because it won't boot right, but this is an issue they were aware of at some point. I spent a lot of money on this laptop and it's really nothing more than a digital typewriter now.
    Does anyone know how I can fix the graphics issue? Aside from shelling out the money I don't have for something that's really Apple's fault? It'd be really nice to be able to, I don't know, watch things and listen to things. That was the whole reason I got this thing.
    Thanks for any ideas, feedback, sympathy, empathy or other comments.
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Ok, you are right, maybe I don't know it for a fact . . . but from all the things I read in various forums, there was a batch (or something similar) of macs (the exact kind I have) that did have too much glue on some parts, and it caused all sorts of problems for different people, most of those problems being with the graphics card. Apparently the excess glue overheats and leaks out of where it's supposed to stay, and whatever it has the misfortune of getting on goes to pot.
    I got very brave, thinking my computer was shot- I opened it, and there was, indeed, crusty glue coming out from under some ... things ... three square chip like things ... and it had seeped onto the edges my graphics card. Having seen the inside of other laptops, I know it was not supposed to look like that no matter how old it is.
    This whole issue happened just a few months after my (overpriced, unused) AppleCare expired. Irony?
    I did backup all my data and files (no thanks to the Apple people; and on safe boot the disc drive won't work, so I had to borrow my friend's external hard drive for backing up), and did a clean install with the original discs. It was a huge hassle, and when it was finally done, I booted my computer normally. It worked for about 10 minutes before it got artifacts all over and froze, at which point I had to force shut it down. I've tried the clean reinstall a few times, but the problem (I think) is that the glue inside already did the damage, and my graphics card is shot. So, I've been running it on safe boot for months. No music. No video. No disc drive. OH- and the best part- on safe boot, the airport won't work. I can't use wi-fi, and I can't take my laptop anywhere because I'm tethered to a modem. It's the worst thing ever. All of it. It's horribly depressing.
    I'm just really frustrated and irritated that this happened, and Apple won't do anything. I do realize they don't HAVE to do anything- buyer beware and whatnot- BUT as a reputable company they should at least let me trade in with the discount or whatever. I didn't have to choose Mac, it was the most expensive computer I looked at- but it has so many awesome functions and things . . . that I can't even use . . .
    As a poor college student I don't have the option to get a new computer or have Apple replace any parts in this one, so I just kind of feel like Apple screwed me over. Their fault? Maybe not. Their product? Yes, so they should want to keep me as a future customer. At least I think so.
    I guess this isn't quite a question. But I would love more feedback, ideas, anything. Has anyone else had this problem? Can I replace my own video card? Will Apple do anything at all? I love macs but I might never get another one, since this could happen again.
    And- unrelated- who changed the title of my post, and how, and why?

  • How can I fix my hard drive?

    I have this nag of a PowerBook that I can't seem to fix. Before I send old paint out to the glue factory, I'd like to try to at least try to get some use as a web & email machine for a while. Here's the problems:
    1 - CD-DVD drive is shot. Can not install anything from CD-DVD drive. Don't want to invest in a replacement drive.
    2 - The somewhat infamous "2007-004 security update" of this past April sort of killed this machines ability to connect to wireless networks. There are many threads on these forums on how machines running 10.3.9 had an adverse reaction to this security update. My machine never recovered.
    3 - Can not use PowerBook in target disk mode. It starts up in target disk mode and shows up on my iMac's desktop BUT if I try to access that disk, everything just hangs and I am forced to yank the FW cord after watching the beachball spin for 10 minutes. Same goes for trying to use Disk Utility or DiskWarrior in target disk mode.
    I am willing to do a full archive and install on it if I can just do that somehow. Can I try to run Disk Utility or DiskWarrior in some other manner? Or is time to bury Ol Paint?
    PowerBook G4 Titanium   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   500MHz - 20GB HD - 768MB RAM

    Well, Gary, it sounds like you've got a mess there. Since you can't fix the hard drive, maybe replacing it is the answer — but only maybe. Given its problems, the Powerbook has essentially no market value as anything but parts, so the only investment in it that might make any sense is a new hard drive, which (installed in a Firewire enclosure) could be used with any other Mac even if it doesn't result in your being able to use this one again. If the present drive has a mechanical problem, that may be why FWTDM doesn't work for you now, and a new drive should take care of that problem.
    On the free side, you might consider downloading and installing Security Updates 2007-005 and -006, which have resolved the problems inherent in -004 for most users. (Once bitten, twice shy, I know.)

    I need your help, PLEASE. How can to fix "NO MOUNTABLE FILE SYSTEM" error of my back up hard drive on Mountain Lion OS?

    Did you format the drive for Mac use before you tried to use it as a backup drive?
    Are you using Time Machine on the drive? You can't view the contents of its backup database and the only way to access the info is directly from the Time Machine app.
