I cant get past the first backup with time machine!

I have been using my iMac Os X 10.5 happily since 2008, but over the last months I have been getting the SBBoD more and more often. Since I have never used time machine before, i.e never done a backup (at this mac, I know its smart and how its done, I'm was just lazy and out of HDs) I feel my time is running out! I configured a brand new WD Elements external HD (2 terrabit, USB 2.0) in time machine, and everything goes smooth untill time machine aborts the backup due to some error. Please help, I am in desperate need of a backup!

heres my crash log from last time. It changes a bit from time to time though.

My serial number is not recognized and I cant get past the first setup screen. What do I do?

As well as the new download you will need the new serial number. You cannot use your original serial number.

I can't verify my Apple ID via email, and cant get past the first security question?

Hello all,
I had to re-install the OS on my MacBook and the Apple ID on my phone is linked to an old email address which I can't access anymore.
Have tried to change my password, but it appears that the birthdate entered originally was wrong; I must have entered something incorrectly.
I have tried to enter variations on date, month and year + or - but have been locked out quite a few times now. What can I do? I really don't
want to lose the apps and 500+ tracks on my phone, and now can't sync anything anymore. Can I call somebody to answer the additional
security questions or bypass in some way? Without the email verification, I'm stuck.

try if this helps:
Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID

My MacBook Air can't get past the gray screen with the apple logo. What's the fix?

My MacBook Air can't get past the gray screen with the Apple logo, so I can't login. Does anyone know the fix for this?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Before reconnecting an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode.* The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually 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.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Post for further instructions.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see above for instructions.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it produces. Look for the line "Permissions repaired successfully" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Boot into Recovery again. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a backup.
Step 8
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Cant get past the starting mac os x screen

hey im posting for my brother.. he has a macbook and now when he turns it on he cant get past the blue "starting the mac os x" screen its just stuck there.. HELP ?!?

Start up from the disk that came with the computer (or an upgrade disk). (Insert the disk, hold down the “C” key-it takes awhile so be patient. If it starts up to the install screen, click continue in the window that first appears. Then select “utilities” in the finder menu and select "disk utility”. Your HD should show up in the sidebar window. Highlight it and click the "repair disk” button. Come back with your results.

I am unable to get past the first step of Winston Churchill's answer because my phone says "checking for a software update failed because you are not connected to the Internet". Did my WiFi connection also get lost?

I am unable to get past the first step of Winston Churchill's answer because my phone says "checking for a software update failed because you are not connected to the Internet." Did my iphone's WiFi connection also get lost with the Contacts, Mail and Text Messages? When I tried the software update, as recommended by Winston Churchill, the iphone was connected to my desktop which is connected to the Internet.

You can't use your computers Internet connection to update your phone from the phone itself. If you want to use the computers Internet connection to update your phone you must update it through iTunes.

Built my first PC, won't get past the first screen :(

Took me 12 hours to do my first build (I know, took too long) and I was so happy at first once everything was done but that didn't last long unfortunately. :( I'm stuck at the first screen where it lists my PC components and it tells me to either press DEL or F11. Nothing works. It's as if my keyboard is not being recognized... which it does because it says "1 KBDs, 1 MICE etc." in that same screen.
Parts are:
* MSI Computer Corp. Motherboard North Bridge AMD 970 & South Bridge AMD SB950 Chipset ATX DDR3 800 AMD AM3+ Motherboards (970A-G46)
* AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 6-Core Processor Black Edition
* PNY 8GB Kit (2 x 4GB) 8 Dual Channel Kit DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM MD8192KD3-1866-X9
* ASUS HD7790-DC2OC-1GD5 Radeon HD7790 1GB GDDR5 128-bit, DVI-I/DVI-D/ HDMI/DP PCI-Express 3.0 CrossFire ready Graphic Card OC-selected 1075MHz core
* WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX
Every single one of these parts is listed in that first screen where I'm stuck at so that means everything is working, right (i.e., not dead on arrival or I didn't damage anything)? I did a Google search and this guy here (can't post links so the URL is not formatted) ->overclock.net/t/1426196/all-new-custom-pc-wont-get-past-the-bios-setup-screen<- had the same problem as I was and he pretty much has the same parts as me and he fixed the problem by using a pair of RAM with a lower voltage.
On MSI's page, it says there that the motherboard that I'm using supports 1.5V of RAM and I just checked the manufacturer's page for the RAM that I'm using and my RAM is listed as using 1.65V... could this really be the problem? Should I go ahead and get new RAM or is there maybe something else?
I also removed the CMOS battery for 1 hour and then moved the jumper to positions 2 and 3 to short the pins and I still can't get past the first screen. I'm going to try using just one stick of RAM next and should I insert it in DIMM1 or DIMM2?
Thanks in advance!

Get a stick of cheap 1.5V RAM and give it a try. Plenty of good quality cheap RAM out there. In this instance my meaning of cheap is "low price" not low quality.
To be honest I would suggest to just go ahead and get some Corsair RAM such as what you see in my signature below. That is one brand that seems to work good in just about any system built using MSI MB whether it be AMD or Intel.
Thanks! I just ordered these - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003N8GVUY/

HT3275 Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive. Could not complete backup to media share. The network backup disk does not support the required AFP feat

Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive. "Could not complete backup to media share. The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features." What are AFP features and how do I get Time Machine to backup to my current external backup?

This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).

Hi beckiewinter!
I have some information for you that may help you understand your iPhone's Activation Lock more thoroughly:
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
So in order to update your iPhone, you may need to turn off Find My iPhone. This can be done through the iCloud settings, and more information on those settings can be found right here:

Take a careful look at the slot and see if any of the pins are broken or smashed to the bottom of the slot. Do you have another pci slot to try or just the one?
