Installing XSAN 1.0 on Leapard Clean Install? HOW?
Has anyone had any luck installing Xsan 1.0 on Leopard 10.5 Server clean install?
The only way I know of is installing 10.4 server, install xsan 1.0, software update xsan, then upgrade to 10.5 server.
The problem with this is that the netinfo errors keep coming up after upgrading to 10.5 server.
Hi
Have you tried posting in the XSan Forum yet?
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=810
I don't know too much about XSan but I would guess you really should be using at least 1.1 and ideally the latest version 1.4? See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1862
for more information. The errors regarding NetInfo seems to support this?

My OS X 10.9 corrupted and i cleaned everything and installed ubuntu linux. I need clean install OSX again and i cant able to reach OS utility now. Please advise
You cannot use a Windows machine.
No idea if this will work because you have/had Ubuntu installed - hit Command + Option + R keys while restarting/booting up. Once in the Utilities, make sure the drive is formatted correctly and erase it, then reinstall the OS. -
Snow Leapard, clean install, garageband, getting disk to slow 10005 error. What to do?
I run a computer business. My customer gave me a white macbook core duo. I upgraded to 2gigs of memory from 512mb. I then purchased a full copy of snow leapard and did a clean install. I setup garageband for the first time. This is all I want to use the computer for. I don't deal with macs in my business. I only work on windows. So, I thought this computer would be nice just to use to setup a small recording studio. I did everything by the book and now when I record I am getting the disk to slow error 10005. This happened after I recorded about five songs. I checked the we and it seems like this error has been around for years with frustration and no resolution. My question is this. Should I just buy another computer or waste my time trying to fix this error. I don't mean that in a bad way. Since this error has been around for so long, I don't to spend all my time working on the computer when I could be recording. What would you do?
error -10005 errAEReadDenied or telBadProcErr: bad msgProc specified
Drive could be going.
Backup off the machine what you have, c boot off the 10.6.3 disk and use Disk Uility to Erase the drive with Zero fill (Security option) and then reinstall OS X and try again, likely will clear up the issue.
This will map off any bad sectors as I'm sure your familiar with the proceedure. Sometimes this works quite well.
If this doesn't work, try a external drive with 10.6 installed on it, hold the option key down to boot from it.
Revert the RAM back to factory too, right specs?
Good Luck. -
Lion Clean Install - No Disc Required - Recovery Partition Solution
There is a way to run a Lion clean install without unpacking the installation onto a new disc or thumb drive. It can be accomplished via a slightly longer, two-step upgrade process, which requires wiping your hard drive after you've upgraded to Lion. You must be able to connect to the internet for this option to work, as it will require downloading the install package again.
As always, be sure to back up your data before performing any sort of wipe of your hard drive.
STEP 1 - Initial Upgrade
Perform a normal Lion upgrade through the App Store. This will install Lion on top of your current configuration. It will also create a Recovery Partition, which is a new feature of the Lion OS. It is this Recovery Partition that you will use to perform the clean install.
STEP 2 - Wipe and Clean Install
Restart your computer into Recovery mode. This can be done by either holding down CMD-r during boot up, or holding down the Option key during bootup and selecting to boot from the Recovery partition.
Select the Disk Utility option from the main menu. Here you can select the main partition, click on the Erase tab at the top, and completely erase the partition. Once you've done this, quit Disk Utility Option, and you will return to the main menu.
Select the Lion Installation option. It will ask you to connect to the internet if you have not done so already (if wireless, you can do this via the Wi-Fi icon in the top right corner). It will also ask you to input your Apple ID login and password in order to verify that you've already purchased the software. The installation will take as long as it requires to download the package again. Once downloaded and installed, Lion will walk you through initial set up.
This solution worked for me, but I make no guarantees that it will work for others.I've created a boot disk (several actually) following the methods outlined in this guide.
http://www.eggfreckles.net/tech/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
I've also saved the installer dmg in several backup locations so it can be burned again fresh or transfered to bootable USB thumb drives.
The Lion install disk boots up and operates just like the Recovery Partition (Disk Utiltiy and all) with one giant benefit, you don't have to log into the MacAppStore with all it's complications or require a lenghtly internet download to install Lion.
So you won't see this annoying screen and have to wait a few hours if the servers are overloaded.
The boot disk also installs considerably faster. Two giant benefits actually.
Also once Lion is installed, Bootcamp can be used to partition the drive, then the Recovery Partiton > Disk Utiltiy used to change the BOOTCAMP partition to HFS+ journaled and then 10.6 can be installed or cloned from a external drive onto the BOOTCAMP partition.
Dual boot Snow/Lion is possible with a large enough boot drive. -
Clean install of Mountain Lion not working and everything's gone!
Created bootable USB install of Mountain Lion to do clean install so I could give my laptop to my sister - erased partition via disk utility - only USB Mac OSX Install ESD shows up for startup disks and that doesn't work when I try to install from there! HELP!
There WAS a recovery disk but I erased that too. I think it's a complete blank computer and the USB drive has nothing to open it with... no clue why it's not working otherwise!Thing is, that bootable copy isn't really a bootcable copy unless you created that via some non-Apple guides on the web. The one off Apple's site that tells you how to make a bootable USB stick doesn't actually put the install files on there. It just puts the necessary files to get it booted and up to the web to do a download of it.
This is the writeup you need to follow. http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/17/make-bootable-os-x-10-8-mountain-lion-usb-install -drive/
Of course, if your laptop came with ML already on it, you won't be able to download the installer because they'll make you pay for it no matter what. You'll need to get your hands on that .app file so you can extract the necessary .dmg file from it. The nice part is, it doesn't matter where that .app file comes from (Purchase ID wise), you just need one folder out of it and that's all. If you have a friend that upgraded to ML and has the ability to redownload the app from the store, you can get it that way.
Again, as long as your laptop came with ML preinstalled, this is legal to do. If it did not and it came with Lion, then you need to install Lion on it before you can legally give it away or sell it with the appropriate OS license on it. -
Clean install vs. archive and install?
I did an archive and install of OSX to try to solve a stubborn problem with a 3rd party program. No dice, so today I tried a clean install.
I was surprised after the clean install completed that I got an iCal reminder and most of my other system settings were still in place. I thought a clean install was more thorough than that. it still didn't clear up the problem with the 3rd party software, so I guess the next step is to backup everything and do an erase and install.
What exactly does a clean install do? I thought it was comparable to restoring the OS to factory-fresh condition, but it doesn't seem much different than an archive and install.Obviously this does not happen because it is common for previous settings and configurations (as well as the issues that the user performed the "Erase and Install" to eliminate in the first place) to remain in place after an "Erase and Install" is completed.
Everything remains 'in place' after a normal erase except the info that tells the file system where the erased item is on the drive. The OS finds the actual data the file contains through the file system, which keeps track of the logical sectors on the drive that make up the file. When a file is "erased," all that happens is the file's entry in the file system is erased, freeing up the sectors the file used for new files.
The *only way* the OS could somehow mistakenly retrieve even a part of a previous settings file's or any other file's data is if the file system is corrupted, meaning it contains incorrect info about one or more sectors that contain an active (un-erased) file it is trying to access. Understand that the sectors just contain ones & zeros, whatever they represent in terms of executable code or data. The name, file type, & all the other info about it is in the file system. The OS has no way of knowing where a file's data used to be or what it was used for except through the file system.
So, the chances that corruption in the file system would somehow exactly point to an old settings file's sectors and they would be in the right order and the file the OS is trying to access is also the same settings file are vanishingly small. This is the only way the OS could mistakenly use the old settings file -- anything else would cause the OS to choke on the file because the zeros & ones are not in the correct order to represent that same settings file.
With this in mind, it should be obvious how bizarre the idea is that zeroing out the drive somehow prevents this from happening. It absolutely doesn't matter in the slightest if the 'bad bits" are all zeros, all ones, or some combination of the two. If the drive is zeroed out, every bit returned will be a zero. If the file is supposed to be an XML-formatted preference file, all the OS gets is a long string of null characters, lacking the required XML header, & the OS chokes. If it is supposed to be an executable file all it gets is NOP's & the zero address, & the OS chokes.
Simply put, in the digital world, zero isn't "nothing" or a sign that the computer should ignore it, it is one of only two possible values a bit can have. All useful code & data strings are made up of zeros & ones in exact patterns. Any string of all zeros is no better or worse than a random sting of zeros & ones unless it is exactly the string that the file should contain, & there are no useful files that should contain all zeros.
What users do need to do if there is any question about the wrong data being returned is to replace or repair the file system, not futilely write zeros to the sectors it should be keeping track of. An Erase & Install *does not do this*, which is why that step alone is not enough to fix this problem. -
I'd like to "clean install" Leopard, wiping my hard disk clean and starting from scratch, afterwards restoring my Mail messages, Network settings, and other User stuff. Then I'd reinstall my applications from the install discs. Is there a step-by-step available online?
Thanks.Thanks much for the link. It lead me to some very good articles about preparing for Leopard and installing it. I did a clean install and then used the Migration Assistant (found in the Utilities folder) to move my User accounts over from a backup. Though I was disappointed that this did not move my e-mail accounts over, it was a simple task of moving my Mail folder and my preference file over from my backup. Voila! I'm up and running again.
Best regards.

Clean install of Lion with a bootcamp partition
On my MacBook Pro Snow Leopard and via Bootcamp is Windows XP installed.
I wanna do a clean install of Lion, but can this been done without disturbing the XP-Installation?Yes, it should. I was successful with my Win7 Boot Camp partition. But as always, be sure to backup the Windows partition, with a cloning utility if posssible, just in case...

Can you clean install Yosemite?
My iMac is becoming a bit sluggish so I would like to take the opportunity for a clean install with Yosemite. Can I clean install Yosemite as you could with Mavericks by using ctrl -R, erasing the hard drive, reformatting and then using internet recovery?
Late 2012 iMac
Currently on latest OSX Mavericks - OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)Rather than an unnecessary clean install answer some questions about the slowness to see if we can determine what is causing the problem. What exactly is slowing down, booting, a application or applications, which ones, etd.?
Download and run Etrecheck. Copy and paste the results into your reply. It's a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC to help identify the more obvious culprits. -
Can't detect my Canon MG5250 to Mavericks (clean install)
I have installed Mavericks on my iMac, complete clean install. But apperently I can't use my all in one printer anymore? Can't add it, it won't show. Can't locate it with IP address either. Like it doens't exist. It's connected to the network by WIFI. USB is not an option since more people use it. Nor should that make a difference?
I can't install the driver since it yells its not support by 10.9...
Anyone have any idea how I can get my printer back in the game? Or where to write to Apple to hurry up with software so I can use my printer again?FrenkDesign wrote:

If you know the IP address the MG5250 is using then you can enter this address into Safari as the URL. This should result in you connection to the internal web page of the MG.
If this fails to connect, then you can use Bonjour to locate the printer. Open Safari > Preferences and select Advanced. Here you will see an entry called Bonjour. Enable the "Include Bonjour in the Favorites bar" setting to make Bonjour appear in your Favorites bar. If you then select this bookmark, the MG should be listed and selecting it will open its web page. Pressing the Advanced button from this page will then show what IP address the MG is using.
If the MG is not listed under Bonjour bookmark then try turning off the MG for several minutes - even unplug the power cord. Then reconnect, turn the MG back on and wait for the blue light to come on indicating that it has reconnected to the wifi network. Then try the Bonjour view via Safari again to check if the printer is back on the network.
You can also check the IP address being used by the MG via its control panel. Press the Settings button, then browse for Network Settings. You will then have the option to view the Wireless LAN address. -
Installing Mavericks cause Kernel Panic and after installing too
Hi,
I worked with Mountain Lion and all was good, but I thought that would be nice to update to Mavericks.
And I'm not good in Mac OS, so I didn't prepare backup before, because believed that it have to work.
But during installation I got kernel panic several times, yeah. But installation process was continued and finally Mavericks was installed.
I was happy, but I shouldn't.
From time to time I'm getting kernel panic and I don't know what is reason.
The worst things that I can't rollback to ML, because for some reason Mavericks installing instead.
And I did clean install several times, and did cleaning NVRAM and PRAM, but it all didn't help to me.
I haven't Apple Support in my country, so I can't even come to service center.
And my last hope is your support.
Could you please look on a kernel panic log and say me what is wrong with it?

Would a clean install of Lion Help
Sorry if this has been covered before. This is my situation: Snow Leopard was stable and a really great experience from moving away from windows, but in Oct I upgraded to Lion. Since then all I've had is problem after problem. Safari is a nightmares, hanging a lot, my printer only work if I plug it in via USB, the spinny ball is a daily friend, and my mac hangs far too often. Though my swearing has improved greatly. I would go as far as to say Windows XP is far less stressful then Lion. I would really like this to end as my opinion of Apple is not good. I know I'm not along on this issue so would a clean install of Lion help or would an clean install of Snow Leapard be better? Rant over...
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. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files 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(s)?
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 FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. 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.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. 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).
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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2. -
Once again... Installing xsan 1.4.2 on 10.5. HOW?!
So long story short, has ANYONE gotten 1.4.2 to install on a clean 10.5 install?
I have tried hacking the pkg, hacking the SystemVersion.plist, installing all the files by sudo in terminal. NOTHING WORKS!
Installing tiger first is not an option since we are on Intel xserves now.
I will consider ANY solutions.
I have seen this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24380
On there is says:
Standalone Installer
A standalone installer is available from Apple Downloads.
But it seems no one has been able to find this.
Help guys.I recently clean installed our Intel MDC with 10.5.8 and xsan 1.4.2. This is how I did it.
Clean install Leopard server and update to 10.5.8 v1.1
When setting up the install, do not select xsan metadata controller as it will ask you for the disk, just create a standalone server.
When your server is finished install xsan 1.4 from your disk, then update to 1.4.2. I have never seen a standalone installer for xsan 1.4.2. I always install 1.4 and then update.
The other option is to install xsan 2.1.1 which I have found much more stable than 1.4.2
Hope this helps -
After receiving an error when I try to install the latest update of OS-X, I took my laptop to oour schools IT dept. They tried to run the update in safe mode and then they got an error saying the system could not find the hard drive. Now they want to run a clean install which loses 1000's of docs and pictures. I have Block I exams in med school next Monday and all of my notes and slides are on that hard drive.
The IT dept took the hard drive out and tried to back it up and they said they other computer could not connect or find my hard drive.
Major panic....
I have Norton antivirus and have never found any viruses on the system. I also have a program called ExamSoft which some other students here have noted they had similar crashes. Not sure if that is the issue...Several take home messages here:
always back up before you update.
always back up anything you don't want to lose. Kind of like flossing. Only floss the teeth you don't want to lose.
Norton is very, very bad software, and you should get rid of it.
You don't need antivirus software on your mac. Antivirus software on macs causes more trouble than it is worth.
Your hard drive may be failing and thus may not be salvageable.
You could try booting into the recovery partition and seeing if you can repair your hard drive.
If that doesn't work, then there is a small chance that a third party utility (like Disk Warrior or TechTool) might be able to fix your drive (if it is not failing).
If that doesn't work, you may be able to send your drive and a lot of cash to a drive recovery service and see if they can get your files off it.
In the mean time, get notes and slides from a (smart) friend. -
How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer?
How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer? Will the leopard dvd run out of installations and not let you install anymore?
Hi colman Prez;
Now that the funny comments have been made, I have a serious question and that why are you worry about reinstalling Leopard with an Erase & Install which is what I take that you mean when you say clean install. In actually fact there is no such thing in OS X as a clean install.
I am curious because in all the years I have used OS X, I have yet to do an Erase & Install yet.
I know with Windows that they suggest reformatting and reinstalling at the drop of a hat but that isn't true with OS X.
