Installing 10.6.6 - writing files never stops

5 times I have tried to intall 10.6.6
It goes to writing files....
30 seconds to about 80% of blue bar
The last 19% about an hour.
I left it one for 12 hours and the bar was completely blue but it would not go past writing files.
Other odd thing is I tried to repair disk permissions and when it's done (although one file not repaired), if I run it again all of the same files come up to be repaired again.

Contact Codeweavers and ask how to remove its software.
Meanwhile, go to Finder File menu, and do a new Finder window. At the bottom of the window it should tell you the MB/GB used. If it does not, and all you see is white space to the bottom of the screen, click on the green button on the upper left. If it still doesn't show it, go to the View menu and select Show Status Bar.
The MB/GB used tells you how much space you have left on the Finder window.
Then the Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info under the hardware section SATA will tell you the size of the hard drive when you select SATA.

Encore Stops Writing Files to DVD

Encore CS2 quite often just stops writing files (stanard def) to the DVD with 4 minutes left or 48 seconds left to write files. I have used several different DVDs brands (usually Taiyo Duden). The windows task manager indicates that the program is still running and after I click cancel on the build progress I always have to close the program down with 'end task' or sometimes I have to cold boot the computer.
AMD 64x2 4400
2 gig ram
XP Pro
Adobe CS2

This ARTICLE might also help you get some clues as to what is going on, when Encore hangs.
Things to check on: other processes getting in the way - this ARTICLE might be of help; hibernation mode, or similar cutting in; screen-saver cutting in.
FWIW, I use Encore 2.0, and either Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden blank media, and have never had similar with about 1500 discs burned from Encore. What you describe is not normal.
Good luck,
Hunt

Encore CS4 never stops importing a file

Hi @all,
I have got a serious problem with Ncor CS4. I want to import an m2v file (5,6GB). Ncor imports it, the progress bar goes up to 100% but then it restarts to import the file and it takes again 5 Minutes, then, at 100% it restarts again and so on. It never stops importing the file.
When I hit the cancel button, Ncor crashes immediately.
Does anybody know a solution for this really annoying problem?
My system is:
C2duo @ 3 Ghz
3,5 GB ram
Win XP SP3

Well, in the meanwhile, I have read here that nvidia graphic cards may cause the problem, so I updated the driver (Nvidia GeForce 8600GTS). Then I deleted the Media Cache directory within the registry and I could import the file for the first time. But then, when I tried to add chapters, Encore crashed.
So I restarted Encore and again I could not import the file due to the infinite loop. The Media Cache directory was there again.
It can't be, that I have to delete something out of the registry everytime I want to use the program. That's really disappointing.
Well, 3.5GB is normal for a 32 bit XP system when you use 4GB ram. XP is only able to address 3.5GB out of 4GB - that's why. It is hard to say how different my PC is - I would say, it is quite standard - I have no plugins and other applications. The only hardware I installed was an E-MU 0404 Soundcard. But that's it...
I even tried it, using a completely new image (purely fresh Win XP SP3, no other software) installed Encore CS4 and had the same problem.

HT3805 I just installed Aperture 3 from a CD. i also imported my photos from my Iphoto library. After importing most of the photos imported are blurry and it tells me the program is "processing" and it never stops. What do I do?

I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.

ITunes won't install. Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft

iTunes won't install.
Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft
Does anybody know what I need to do to fix this?

I am the administrator, so this can't be a rights problem. The error message says "error writing to file c:\program files\apple software update\softwareupdate.exe. Verify that you have access to that directory".
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive, as per the following document:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

LMS 3.2 - RME 4.3.1 Inventory Collection never stops (Job Result = pending)

Hello all,
with our LMS-System running on Solaris 10 we have the following problem:
- Inventory Collection never stops after starting
- This can be seen with all devices or 1 device selected
- Config-Mgmt is working
- After re-init of RME-DB the problem persists
In Logfile (IC_Server.log) no problems are shown.
In Job-Logfile only the collection request is shown.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks for your feedback
Lothar

Hi Joe,
with further troubleshooting this problem I discoverd the following.
- Having problems with inventoring certain Cat4000 we requested patch for Bug-ID CSCtb16925 (LibInventory.zip-File).
- Replacing this file with the old one or installing the newest IDU for RME the problem was solved.
It seems that the LibInventory.zip file given with Bug-ID CSCtb16925 is somewhat buggy (maybe in context with device-number) greater
than 1000.
Thanks for your support.

HT5313 The update installer is frozen while writing files(10.7.5) What do I do?

I was updating my OS to 10.7.5 via Software update. I clicked on the box to restart my computer and a icon appeared stating "writing files". It has been running over 30 min without any movement in the status bar. I'm not sure if there is a problem and it has stalled or I am not being patient enough. Never run into a situation in the past like this while installing a OS update. Suggestions?

I'd give it a bit longer but if nothng still happens you'll have no choice but to do a forced shutdown. Hopefully it'll reboot. You might then want try to update again using the 'combo' from Apple's support pages, which contains all revisions since 10.7 and will hopefully sort it out:

Error reading/writing file message when opening garageband and/or files

I've been recently getting this message when I open garageband and files
"Error reading/writing file\U201Ccom.apple.garageband.cs\U201D
I've been in and repaired disk permissions and all that it says it is all fine, reinstall garageband and message still comes up, weird.
not only is garageband being a nuisance, Mac OS X 10.6.2 is being a pain when shutting down telling me to restart the computer. This only happened since upgrading to 10.6. No one as yet knows this promble so I'm gonna have to ring apple and see what is going on here.
and also my other problem is that mac doesn't seem as snappy anymore I noticed this before upgrading to 10.6 and made no difference when "cleanly" installing 10.6. I get a colour wheel popping up and i'm having to wait with simple tasks. iMac only 2 years old.

i give up with this discussion forum no no one knows anything

IPod "Do not disconnect" message never stops

I get an error message (The iPod "Tubby's iPod" cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application) when trying to eject my iPod from iTunes and computer. The iPod never appears to be finished with updating even though iTunes software states that the update is complete (“Do not disconnect” message never stops flashing on iPod).

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb again?

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb from the App Store again? My problem is my 4Gb/month allowance on a 12 month contract. I cannot purchase a data block from my ISP and although my speed is theoretically slowed to 64k after reaching my 4Gb, it actually ceases to download in reality.

HI tasclix, it depends what you mean by an OS X boot drive.
If you want a recovery disk from which you can reinstall (by re-downloading) or recover from a time machine backup, then nbar is correct.
If, however, you want to boot and run the OS X installer from the USB drive (so that you don't need to download again), then you will need a copy of "Install OS X Mavericks.app"; see this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5856
Before downloading again, search your system to see if the installer is still there - it's usually in the /Applications folder unless it has been deleted, but check your whole system for it anyway, you never know, you might still have it somewhere.

Move to new computer, get "An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc

I tried to move my PE6 install and catalog to a new computer. It was on a Dell Windows XP machine, and I moved it to a Toshiba Windows 7 (64 bit) machine. I have always kept my photo files on an external hard drive. My photo library is 50GB, 10,000 files. Here is what I did.
Copied the original PE6 install file to the Toshiba. Installed but didn’t activate it.
Copied the entire My Catalog folder to the proper Windows 7 location.
Plugged the external drive into the Toshiba. Made sure the same drive letter as before (E).
Fired up PE6 on Toshiba. Looked good in Organizer. Everything seemed to be there, but I didn't try to make changes at that point.
Deactivated PE6 on the Dell. Activated on the Toshiba.
Then I realized that it is not right. I can edit Keywords and Rating stars on the pics, but not dates, captions or notes. I get “An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc may be full or there may be problems with the source media.”
Only a fraction of the external drive is in use.
I can access the files on the external drive with another app (Windows Photo Viewer).
I tried Reconnect All Missing Files. Somewhat ambiguously, it says “There are no files to reconnect.”
In the properties in the Organizer for each picture are the proper file names and paths. Folder view works fine in Organizer.
I can put new files in the same external drive directories, import them into PE6, then edit them normally.
What is the easiest way to get Organizer properly connected to my files? I suppose I could reimport all the pics on the new machine, but I assume I'd lose some of my metadata. So that is out of the question.
Thanks,
Bill

Are you sure that file paths are correct? I say this because under XP they would have originally pointed to Documents & Settings/My Pictures whereas on W7 it will be User/Pictures, albeit you are using an external hd.
Take a look at this knowledge base note on the correct procedure for back-up and restore.
I think writing metadata to files for such a large catalog will be a thankless task.

Report Subscription - Failure writing file - The network path was not found.

I have several subscriptins which have been working fine.
All suddenly stopped with same error - Failure writing file - The network path was not found.
The subscriptions write to a number of different network paths, all of which exist and are accessible.

Is this a repeating failure or one time occurrence? If it's a one time occurrence it could have been a short network outage. If repeating look and ensure the user that the subscription is using to write the files still has the appropriate permissions,
is enabled, not locked, etc. Other things to possibly consider would be flushing the dns cache on the server. It's possible a firewall rule could have been put in place that would block the ability to access said location as well. The best
thing you can do is start by asking "what has changed".
