Installer Appears Stuck on "Setting Up..." During Full Restore

This question relates to my attempts to format a brand new, 480GB SSD with an OS X Yosemite Installer app from the App Store. I got the SSD to replace the recently failed HD in my '07 MacBook Pro, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo (Santa Rosa); once it's in, of course, I'll need to Restore all the apps and data (±200 GB) from my account using my most recent Time Machine (complete) backup.
What I've done so far:
First, I installed the new, unformatted SSD in the computer, then created a bootable OS X Yosemite Installer on a 16GB thumb drive (http://www.macworld.com/article/2367748/how-to-make-a-bootable-os-x-10-10-yosemi te-install-drive.html). When I booted up with the thumb drive the Installer worked fine up to a point, but on repeated attempts it kept reporting different errors that kept the installation from finishing. Twice I re-downloaded the OS X Yosemite Installer app from the App Store, thinking there might have been some corruption in earlier copies. On each re-try I also re-formatted the thumb drive per the instructions indicated in the link above
Then, following advice I had read somewhere that it's often simpler to format a brand new disk before putting it into the computer, I removed the SSD from my MacBook Pro and put it temporarily in an external HD case. Finally, I connected the external volume to an iMac and also ran an Ethernet cable from my Time Capsule to the iMac. Finally, after downloading a fresh copy of the OS X Yosemite Installer I selected the external SSD as the target volume for the new installation
Here's where I may have messed up: when prompted by the Installer I elected not simply to Install OS X Yosemite on the SSD, but to Restore my data from a Time Machine backup. The Installation seemed to be progressing fine for the first 40 minutes or so, when the following screen displayed
Although at first I was encouraged by this screen that the OS X Yosemite Installer was actually working fine, that was two days ago. The little spinning spoke-wheel near the bottom of that white screen has been spinning and, for the past 50 hours, telling me that it's busy 'Setting up..."
My question
Is anyone reading this familiar enough with the Yosemite Installer to know whether this is likely to be a hangup, or simply the expected slow-down related to my decision to have the Installer Restore my encrypted data from the Time Capsule? Clearly I've never before done a full restore from a Time Machine backup, so I don't know what to expect in terms of a Full Restore and would greatly appreciate any supportive insights. Thanks.

Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly to restart.

System Time during Full Installation

Hi all,
During full installation (Device installation) in SAP ISU, system taking huge time, when I debugged it, I found that a select statement is taking most of the time.
T code : EG31
Main Program: SAPLIE01
INCLUDE LIE01U04. "EQUIPMENT_SUCCESSORS
Function Module: EQUIPMENT_SUCCESSORS
this is the code inside the function module.
standard SAP code----
selection of the newest time-segment of 'reading_date':
if 'reading_date' ::= ultimo
only one segment exists
else
the newest (last per day) is the one with 'datbi' > 'reading_date'
IF READING_DATE = MAX_DATE.
SELECT * FROM V_EQUI
INTO TABLE EQUI_TAB
WHERE HEQUI = EQUI_NO
AND DATBI = READING_DATE
ORDER BY EQUNR. "*<---
ELSE.
SELECT * FROM V_EQUI
INTO TABLE EQUI_TAB
WHERE HEQUI = EQUI_NO
AND DATAB <= READING_DATE
AND DATBI > READING_DATE
ORDER BY EQUNR. "*<---
ENDIF.
if somebody already faced this problems , please suggest me some solution to solve this issue.
thanks & regards,
Deepak.

Hi,
In this note the statement you mentioned
IF READING_DATE = MAX_DATE.
    SELECT * FROM V_EQUI
      INTO TABLE EQUI_TAB
      WHERE HEQUI = EQUI_NO
      AND   DATBI = READING_DATE
is replaced by
IF reading_date = max_date OR reading_date GE sy-datum.
    SELECT * FROM v_equi
      INTO TABLE equi_tab
      WHERE hequi = equi_no
      AND   datbi = max_date

Hi,
this sounds as some field values were not transported to the internal tables. Which transaction do you use? In case you are trying to use dark installation routines, make sure all needed fields are filled (check within the dump). If this all does not help - open a customer message - a dump will always be inspected by SAP Support.

Set Up Disk Full

I am getting a Set Up Disk full error and am not quite sure what this means. I have been deleting or saving pictures to an external hard drive but I am still getting this error. I don't know what the set up disk is and how it is getting full. Can someone please answer this question?
Thanks.

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal 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, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Stuck with gray screen during update (firmware)

Hi, did you ever solve this problem?
My 1 year old -- ha! one month out of warranty -- iPhone 4 has been having a nearly identical problem over the past few days.
It started by dying completely so I had the battery replaced, thinking it was simply battery issue.
It then worked again for a moment but started doing exactly what you describe, going through a reset cycle (longer than 30 seconds but who's counting). And it felt quite warm.
Did hard reset, plugged into wall charger and MBP USB but the new battery wouldn't even get a full charge (a whopping 92% after nearly two days). It would even lose battery when plugged in if I opened an app. And all the while plugged in, if I left the phone on, it would cycle through these resets. So I turned it off to try to charge it.
Now suddenly, it's dead again. Totally black, and hard reset does nothing. Up until two days ago there was nothing wrong whatsoever with this phone! And I hadn't even installed a new app that could be the root of the issue. No idea whatsoever what caused this.
Any help would be much appreciated!!

Is it Possible to Insert Quiz Slides at Set Times During a Video?

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to Captivate, so I apologise in advance if this question has already been answered and I couldn't find it.
I work in higher education and we create a lot of screencasts with academics speaking over Powerpoint presentations. During a presentation there is often several points where the academic would like to ask the user a question. What I want to know is if there's a way of adding question slides during a video?
Many thanks,
Ross

You will have to split up that video to be able to insert slides in between.

The volume icon on my ipod won't disappear and the volume sets itself at full.

The volume icon on my ipod touch won't disappear and the volume sets itself at full. I have tried a master reset etc, but it doesn't want to cooperate. Any ideas?

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If you still have a problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
I do not know what a "master reset" is.

Unable to set safari in full-screen mode

Hi folks,
I just factory reset my 15-inch MBP running 10.9.3. After doing so, I notice that I am unable to set Safari in full-screen mode. Any ideas??

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

I have a problem with my e mail. It appears stuck. I cannot do anything with it. Any suggestions

I am having a problem with my e mail. It appears stuck. Every other app works but my mail? Can anyone help

Tap your home button to get to your home page. Then double tap your home button to open the Task Bar (most recently used apps). Hold your finger on your mail app until all the apps on the task bar jiggle. You'll see an on the uppre left side. Touch the to fully close your mail app (closing all recently used apps on a regular basis is actually a good idea). Tap your home button to close the task bar.
Now, reboot your iPad. Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at ths SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will come back up.
Once it comes back up, you should be good to go.
ETA: Looks like my friend Demo and I are in full agreement on the solution.

Photoshop CS3 crashing and installation getting 'stuck'

Last week Photoshop CS3 started crashing when trying to select a new file to open.
This didn't seem related to any particulr file and appeared to be random.
Error message was "an unrecoverable problem has occurred, Photoshop will now quit"
Actully it didn't quit and had to be force quit.
This was happenning sporadically, but today it happened every time I tried to open any image file.
Thinking it was a good idea to re-install, I tried that but the installation got 'stuck' and couldn't be completed.
A few minutes into the installation, prompts appeared asking for the CS4 Flash disk [which we bought seperately]
and then asked for the CS3 Application disk again. That disk was put in the drive and a minute or so later it asks for the CS3 Application disk.
Which is the disk it already has...
Has anyone else had this odd situation and found a solution?
Any thoughts appreciated!

Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

P

If you have a license for Lightroom, you should be able to reinstall it from an installer disc or re-download it from Adobe after explaining the situation and clarifying the license issues. Either will be simpler than trying to extract and install it from a TM backup of a different Mac, I think. If it's anything like other Adobe products, it has bits and pieces all over the place that you'll have to find and put in their right places on your girlfirend's Mac.
