HT201372 used this to make a bootable copy for a new hard drive installation. copied the install find but gave error code 110 when making the disk bootable.. Any help in what this code is

Used createinstallmedis to make a copy of the Mavericks app for use in a new hard drive install.. Copied find but gave error code 110 and failed to make the flash drive bootable.. Any help in what errror code means?

Did you partition and format the flash drive first? See the following:
Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

I want to make a TimeMachine backup in a new hard-drive I just bought. It says it has to erase the info but as the drive is new there's no info in it, so what it is going to be erased?

I want to make a TimeMachine backup in a new hard-drive I just bought. It says it has to erase the info but as the drive is new there's no info in it, so what it is going to be erased?
I had to format it after I bought it so that it could work with windows and Mac and I'm afraid that if I erase the info in the hard-drive, the format will also change. Is that possible to happen? Or the format will stay the same?
Thank you

Do you want to continue to use it to share and store files between Windows and NTFS and Mac which uses HFS?
Maybe you need another drive. I would never have only one backup and one "live" data set.
you probably installed something, whether it is current or well supported or not, that came with the drive to allow writing to NTFS.
TimeMachine has to use HFS only and use Apple GPT (GUID) format.
sometimes erase changes a drive to GUID when you click on the raw hard drive name in Disk Utility. other times you can erase a volume and leave the partition format type as is. The wording use to be clearer when people knew when and how to initialize, format and setup a drive. And sometimes a message on the screen says it will be only launches Disk Utility and not to the PARTITION tab to make changes.
In addition to TimeMachine, having a clone of your system or data or both can be very useful as well. Drives fail.
And with a MacBook Air you probably have a smallish internal hard drive and might need to store media files and data on another drive to supplement the internal SSD.

Reinstalling Aperture on New Hard Drive (Downloaded Copy)

Hello,
I have an activated and legitimate copy of Aperture 2.1.2 (with serial number).
I will be installing a new hard drive into my Mac Pro at the weekend and doing a clean install of Leopard.
1) do I just download the trial version of Aperture and then enter my serial number to get the fully operational software?
2) how do I rebuild my library / projects so that my pictures / tags etc. are recovered? I have been maintaining a Vault of my pictures. Do I just switch the external hardrive that that Vault is stored on and 'ask' Aperture to rebuild my library?
Sorry of my terminology is less than correct / technically accurate!
And thank you for your time,
Adam

No, your reasoning is right on target. My comment about cloning was addressed more to the discussion with Wes, but I had sensed you were probably wanting a clean install. I did the same thing to create a boot volume where I freshly installed every pro application (for me that is Final Cut Studio apps, Photoshop CS3 and Aperture, plus some others) and got them up and running before adding still other applications. My other Leopard boot volumes were based upon having upgraded Tiger to Leopard, and when I got Aperture 2, I wanted to start fresh. I must say that with the boot volume that I had created by an upgrade of a clone of a Tiger boot volume, that Final Cut Pro and Photoshop had worked fine, and I still use that Leopard boot sometimes.

Is this a good choice for a new hard drive for a 13" mid-09 MBP?

1.0TB HGST Travelstar, 5400 RPM. Anyone had any experience w/ HGST? I only use this laptop for school & surfing.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/HGST/0J22413/

I have a couple of those and used them in my MBPs. They work just fine. HGST also has a 7200 rpm version which I also have had good results. That theoretically should afford slightly faster performance. You cannot go wrong with either one.
Ciao.

Have new hard drive... previously had IE, but not on this PC. Saved "Favorites" to a file and would like to get them into Firefox

would like to import IE "Favorites" from a file I have stored

You should be able to import them into Mozilla Firefox using the Bookmarks dialouge window.
In Firefox, go to the Menu bar and choose Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks. Once the dialouge window has popped up, choose Import and Backup. Now, choose the appropriate option and then browse for the file you saved using Internet Explorer.
I hope this heled you out.
Sincerely,
Chris

My iMac is just old enought that I cannot upgrade to Yosemite. I s there a way to force this or do I have to investigate a new hard drive or even a new computer?

My iMac is runnng 10.6.8. I would like to upgrade to Yosemite, but the processor is a 2 Ghz Intel core duo. Anyone have a suggestion?

Your Core Duo processor cannot support any Mac OS version higher than OC 10.6.8. Nothing you can do other than buying a newer model can change that.
Check the processor name again, if it says "Core 2 Duo" --the "2" being the key factor--you have options that are less expensive.

My IPhone used to be synced to my computer. A new hard drive was installed and now the phone says it's syncing, then a message appears saying the next time my computer is available is will sync. I've followed the instructions and no success.

My hard drive burned up and had to be replaced. When I tried to sync my IPhone after my computer repair, the phone says it's syncing and the icons spin, but nothing happens. In a few seconds a message appears saying it will sync the next time my computer is available. I have gone through the instructions and procedures for syncing four times and can not get the thing to sync. Apparently the phone hasn't synced in a long time. What do I do to sync my phone again?

jrmetzger,
iOS runs on iPads and iPhones; OS X runs on Macs.
Given your situation, I’d highly recommended that you purchase a SATA-to-USB adapter, so that you can test both your old disk and your new disk externally, since it might be that the problem is due to a faulty internal SATA cable rather than due to faulty disks.

I just replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro, reformatted new hard drive and copied over a backup from time machine now I have a kernel panic message (you must restart) - what do I do now?

i just replaced the hard drive on my macbook pro, reformatted new hard drive, installed a back up from time machine and now have kernel panic ( you must restart your computer) what do I need to do?

If you're able to boot, 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, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents – the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.

Installing a new hard drive. How to make installer dvd from current OS

I have a iMac G5 (PPC). 2004 when I got it. And have the original HD. 150 GB. Following Murphy's Law this HD is due for failure. I have bought a 1 TB. new hard drive to install on this machine. I forgot which OS came with it (10.3) I think. My set up is that I back up my iMac G5 (PPC) to a external Hard drive (300GB) with Time Machine. I have updated thru software update to 10.5.8. But have no DVD installer for 10.5.8.
How can I make an installer for my new hard drive? Or should I partition new 1TB hard drive with the same amount of space as my time machine back up? I may not put everything on current system on new drive.

If the old harddrive is working, why don't you copy the old to the new?
In Leopard, you can resize partitions without loosing data.
Here are two utilities for making a complete backup of your internal hard drive. I've recommend using one of these so that you can create a bootable system on your external hard drive. ( PPC require a firewire connected drive. ) Once created, you can run your system from the external drive. Hold down the option key on your keyboard then power on your machine. This will bring you in startup manager click on the drive image you wish to boot then click on the arrow key to the right.

How to install a new hard drive without bootable disc/usb

Hi- my hard drive has totally failed and although I can get into disk utility it won't let me create images and keeps coming up with input/output errors when I try.
I don't have another mac to work from and have no discs whatsoever even for older OS versions
I've ordered a new hard drive(a seagate 750GB 7400rpm one) but how do I get mountain lion on the new hard drive without any discs? If I just put in my new hard drive will it come up with an option? I have a mid 2009 MBP if that helps

I have a mid 2009 MBP if that helps
Here is how it helps:
You need the Utilities from Recovery_HD. Your broken Mac can boot from a Thumb drive.
Use this article to download this Utility to copy the Recovery_HD from your older, working Mac to a minimum 1GB USB thumb drive:
OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant
Then boot the new mac with the thumb drive by holding down Alt/Option, wait wait wait while it draws an Icon for each bootable Volume, choose the Recovery_HD, choose proceed arrow, and use Disk Utility to erase the drive and create GUID partition Map, 1 partition, Mac OS X Extended (journaled). Then install Mac OS X by download.

Copying OS 10.4 to new hard drive

The hard drive on my G5 failed while it was still under warranty. I was running OS 10.3.9 and when the Apple store installed a new hard drive, they installed 10.4 on it, but I had no disks for it. I subsequently upgraded many of my other software programs because the versions I had wouldn't run on 10.4. Well, last week the replacement hard drive failed. I purchased and installed a new hard drive and had to load 10.3.9 on it because I didn't have any 10.4 disks. Of course, several of my programs won't run on 10.3 now. I've ordered an upgrade disk to 10.4 but in the meantime we put the failed hard drive in the freezer and lo and behold it shows up on the desktop although I can't boot from it. I tried copying all the contents of the old hard drive onto the new hard drive by copying them, but I get the message that I need to enter the administrator name and password. I have that information, but can't figure out where and how to enter that info. Help!!!

Whew, tough spot, do you have another Mac around with Firewire?
Bit of a long shot, but you might try this on that 10.4 drive to see if it maybe will boot...

Got a new hard drive, system now has very short freezes when being used

Hello there!
I recently got a new hard drive, 1 TB from 320, and i have been having an issue where the computer seems to freeze for about half a second and then go back to normal. This happens on multiple apps and accounts. i have had it happen in safari, firefox, Minecraft and warcraft 3. It seems to happen more when the system is under heavy use like if i am playing DvZ. Basically its like the display freezes and everything else keeps going. after about half a second or so the screen will jump to where it should be. This happens both in Minecraft and Warcraft 3. in safari it happens sometimes when i go back a page, it just kind of sits with the back button highlighted for a second then it goes to the previous page. Also sometimes when i scroll it takes a second or two to start scrolling.
The system itself is not freezing totally because stuff still happens when the screen is frozen, in Warcraft 3 units will jump to where they would be is the screen hadn't frozen.
I have tested it on multiple accounts so its not isolated to one account.
Thanks for any help you can give,
ZapplePi

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Can I copy Applications to a new Hard Drive?

My PS4 is very much scraping the upper limits of it's 500GB Hard Drive (I had to go on a purge just so I could fit Arkham Knight onto the system). But the one thing that's really putting me off taking the plunge and getting a new Hard Drive is I can't find an answer to whether or not I can copy an application straight over. I know for the most part just redownloading the application is the easiest scenario, but in this case the application I'm trying to preserve is 'PT', which to the best of my knowledge I can never get back once it leaves my system. So is there any way I could get it on my new Hard Drive given that it's no longer available to download?

Do a full system backup to an external drive, it has been confirmed in another thread that EVERYTHING is backed up, that means downloaded games, so a demo would be no different Settings>system>backup and restore

How to move/copy Home Folder to a new hard drive?

Hard drive crashed in Snow Leopard, but before it did I pulled off my home folder. I am going to reinstall Snow Leopard on a new hard drive. How do I move/copy my home folder to the new hard drive? The home folder is sitting on an external hard drive that connects via firewire 400. Do I simply recreate the user account on the computer with new hard drive and copy/move the old home folder over to overwrite the new home folder? Looking forward to any suggestions.
David

Normally you can move your exiting home dir to another drive without any problems. For example, see
How to Move the Home Folder in OS X – and Why
But you appear to want to take a home dir from another system and make it the home dir on another system. That may or may not work. The operations are the same, i.e., point to the new home dir via the Accounts system prefs advanced options. But if the account id's are not the same there is going to be permissions problems.
Similarly, you can have permissions problems for the same reason just copying the stuff over the newly created home dir.
If you already know the user id's are the same then I think you may just get away with the substitution.
