Iphoto 5 installation interrupted by power failure

I was upgrading a friend's G4 (AGP) from iPhoto 2 to iPhoto 5. The program was in the process of upgrading the thumbnails ( a long process) when the power failed. IPhoto now crashes on startup. I have iPhoto 2 on backup. System is running 10.3.9. What is the procedure to either complete the iPhoto 5 installation or go back to 2.

ITunes update interrupted by power failure - now can't install

Gateway computer running Windows 7. I've run iTunes without issue for years. I had the bad luck of having an iTunes update interrupted by a power failure. I got error 193 when trying to run it afterwards. During subsequent attempts to reinstall, I also get error 7 (Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start).
Here's what I've tried so far:
- uninstalled iTunes in the proper order according to Apple help docs, rebooted, attempted to reinstall. Received error 7 twice during install, clicked to ignore both times. Received error 193.
- uninstalled again, searched for leftover files in various folders as spelled out by Apple doc. Reboot/install. Same problem.
- uninstalled again. Searched for and found stray registry key related to iTunes. Deleted it and attempted install. Same problerm.
- uninstalled again, and attempted to install as administrator (the login I'd been using the whole time was an admin login, but I was grasping at straws). Reboot/install. SAME PROBLEM.
I am beyond frustrated. Why won't this install work? What is the problem with the Apple Mobile Device Service?

HT1725 Download interrupted by power failure

In the process of downloading a song from iTunes Store, I experienced the power at my home start to flicker, and ultimatelly go out. When it started flickering, I turned my MAC off so as not to damage. The download did not complete, and is not in my library, although iTunes says it was purchased, and applied the charge. Any ideas? iTunes help did not address this kind of issue. I know it's only .99, but........

Does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option find it ? If not then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries), see if you can redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your Mac's iTunes (if you have the incomplete track listed in your library then you will need to delete that first, otherwise you won't get the cloud symbol in Purchased for redownloading).
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

After a power failure while iPhoto was running, I get the message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" and iPhoto will not open????

After a power failure while iPhoto was running, I get the message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" and iPhoto will not open???? held down the option and the command and tried to run what was ticked off and it just sits there with a spinning wheel and does nothing, can I throw the app away and download a new one? or will it still not open?

, can I throw the app away and download a new one? or will it still not open?
You could, but the error message is indicating that your iPhoto library needs repairing.
Check, if iPhoto will run, if you launch it on a new library. Hold down the alt/option key, while you launch iPhoto. Select to create a new library from the panel that will show. Can you create a new library? If yes, try again to fix the library. Which options have you tried from the Library First Aid panel, when you launched iPhoto with the option and command key held down?
If you have not tried "Rebuild"; do that next. But be sure to make a backup of your iPhoto library, before you try this.

Power failure during installation

This isn't a question, but a cheer. While installing Yosemite on my Mac Mini, the power went out at my house. Those of us old enough can remember the warnings that used to be attached to system installs---DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER DURING INSTALLATION! So you can imagine how anxious I was when the transformer outside went thump and the lights (and my computer) all turned off, with one minute remaining in the install.
When the lights came on again, I turned on the computer and waited to see what would happen. The Mini just backed up to the last stage it had completed of the installation (23 minutes remaining) and went on from there with a flawless install. Good on ye, Apple engineers!

Hello! A power failure during a sustained read/write operation such as an update will usually screw up the hard drive directory big time. Your best bet short of high dollar data rescue services is probably to get a cd/dvd that is bootable and try to repair the disk and get it to mount so you can retrieve your data. I always recommend a bootable clone for instances like this and also highly recommend DiskWarrior to repair directory damage. A power failure during an OS update likely damages the OS as well as the hard drive directory. Tom

Power failure then iPhoto library= POOF! :-( PLEASE HELP!

Power failure then iPhoto> library= POOF!
We had a power failure and of course iPhoto was open when my computer was improperly shut down. After powering up, I did the following; repaired permissions and ran disk utility (no problems found).
Upon opening iPhoto (6.03) I got the rebuild thumbnails message, and I said cancel (I was going to do it later), then IPhoto opened and it was BLANK! all 5000+ images were GONE! I am assuming the library got corrupted somehow on either the bad crash, or the canceling of the rebuild option.
Now, I am a bit neurotic about my pics, so I choose to make my own finder folders of pic when I take them off the camera, and then import into iPhoto that way. So the good news is I still have all my original pictures in folders in the finder.
From reading various threads here, and Googleing + Macfixit, etc etc. This is what I have done to try to recover my library. (not necessarily in this order)
[list]
[*]Trash/recreate the iPhoto plist preferences
[*]Clear caches using Cocktail software
[*]Repaired permissions (in Disk utility), and then repair iPhoto library folder permissions usuing instructions found here using Batchmod software
[*]Rebuild the iPhoto library (option, command) and selecting the 3 proper checkboxes.
[*]Ran iPhoto Library Manager software to rebuild the database with no success. I get the error message "This Library cannot be rebuilt because its XML file contains no data".
[*]Updated to iPhoto 6.04/repaired permissions and disk utility.
[/list]
Each time iPhoto loads completely blank and void of my photos!
My assumption is the XML file is corrupt since I am getting that message in iPhoto Library Manager.
So what to do? And hear are my questions /issues.
I would certainly like to preserve my 4 years of customization of keywords, titles , folders, smart folders, etc. (which I assume is held in the now corrupt XML file?).
What is the best way to recover my customization and most importantly the images!
I realize I can just re-import all my images from my original finder image folders that I have, but I assume this method will not recover my keywords ,etc?
Is there a way to recover my customization?
I do have a fairly recent backup of my iPhoto folder on a backup drive ( I think!) It does not have all my newer pics in it, but as I mentioned I do still have all my .jpgs, just not in iPhoto!
Thanks in advance for reading and any help offered!
PBG4 1.33 2gig Mac OS X (10.4.6) 120 gig hd

I got all my pictures AND everything else back, folders, ratings, keywords etc
Fortunately I had a backup of the entire iPhoto library folder, it was about 3 months old (I know shame on me) so I didn't want to just use the entire backup folder and lose 3 months of photos.
So I just copied the AlbumData.xml file and the Library6.iPhoto file. PRESTO all my pictures were back WITH all the folders,keywords etc, etc intact!! (up till the 3 month old backup point).
Then I just re-imported the missing 3 months worth of pictures from the original folder in the iphoto library folder. So all I had to recreate was 3 months worth of customization. WHEW!!
Reading through the discussions it seems there is a fair number of users where iPhoto would go empty, but they knew the images were still on the computer. I am not a programmer, but it seems silly to me the their are files that get re-written everytime iPhoto closes....computers crash. and then what happens to the files? Mine got corrupted, lesson learned BACKUP more frequently!!
Thanks to Old Toad who steered me to the Library6.iPhoto as a possible troublemaker in another thread!

Power failure during automatic update installation

I had a power failure during the installation of automatic updates. since then Safari will not open, it flashes up on screen then crashes. how can I reinstall the updates? update show as having been successfully installed and I cant see a way of reinstalling them to try to fix the problem.
I have done a disk check and it found no problems

Help. I was in the middle of loading a system update when I shut the power off.
You mean you forced the computer off with the power button?
When you say the middle of loading a system update, what do you mean? Downloading it, installing it??
Now my MacBook Pro does not boot and only has an error message when I power up. I have read some forum topics on downloading a stand alone installer to fix and another on using my leopard install disk\utilities to "restore from time machine".
You need to boot into the Leopard DVD by inserting the DVD, rebooting and holding down the "C" key. After the language screen, in the menu, top left, under Utilities, run disk utility and repair HD and permissions.
That's the first step.
If that does not work, boot into the safe mode by holding down the shift key on boot. If you get to the login screen, you are probably in good shape - just click restart and let the system reboot normally.

Power Failure: Boot Camp Installation gone horribly wrong

Was in the middle of the Windows installation part of the Boot Camp setup, and our building had a brief power failure. The Mac went dark. Upon reboot, it boots to a white screen but progresses no farther. The Windows XP install disk is still in the SuperDrive.
1. Partition was created successfully by Boot Camp Assistant
2. Windows installation had started, and was in the process of reformatting the partition to NTFS when the power failed.
3. iMac boots to white screen and stops.
I assume I need to get the WinXP disk out so I can boot from the OS X disk, but it isn't patently obvious how to do this without an OS interface. No hole to poke in a paperclip a la Windows drives.

Tried with no progress: still stuck at WSOD (white screen of death).
1) Booting with the Install Disk 1 in the SuperDrive while holding down the C key.
2) Booting while holding down the Command + Option + O + F keys
3) Booting while holding down the Command + Option + P + R keys
4) Booting while holding down the X key
5) Booting while holding down the Option key (this generates a non-functioning mouse pointer on the WSOD, which is more than anything else has done).
I have held down the keys in the following orders:
a) Before I push the power button
b) As soon as I push the power button
c) As soon as I hear the Mac chime
I have released the keys in the following orders:
a) As soon as the white screen appears following the chime.
b) Held for 60-90 seconds or more, with no change/response on the screen.
Unless someone else can offer another option, this is likely my next approach:

Commercial power failures and FiOS service interruptions

Severe weather reminder for our FiOS customers...
In the event of a commercial power failure, your FiOS battery backup will power your standard voice service for approx 8 hours. For additional information about the battery backup unit, click here for more info.
It’s possible that after electrical power is restored, you may still be without FiOS TV service. Sometimes resetting your Battery Backup Unit (BBU) is needed. Click here for more info.
For an automated wizard to help with FiOS restoration, click here.
Due to extreme weather conditions, there may be storm related power outages in your area. Your FiOS services will be affected until power resumes. If you do not have power please contact your local power company. If your power is restored and your FiOS services are still not working, you can report an outage, check status, request a new repair or update an existing repair online at www.Verizon.com/repair . If some of your Verizon services are working, but not all, you can use the In Home Agent application on your PC to troubleshoot and restore services. We apologize for any inconvenience.

when you lose power, the BBU kicks in, and after minute or so, the video and data ports will be shut off at the ONT at your house to save battery power.... the battery is ONLY for the phone
In the event that the Verizon CO lost power/signal and you truly had no signal coming to your house.. then all services would go down

What to do when Lion download stops because of power failure?

Please, can anybody advise: what to do when Mac OS X v10.7 Lion download stops, because of interruption of power supply?

I would first try reinstalling your backup copy of your previous OSX version if you can and then try reinitiating the installation of Lion from there. However, if that doesn't work at all, then the stoppage of the download by the power failure most likely corrupted your harddrive. I myself would then take the safest course and reformat the harddrive by booting from your Original Installation Disks and reformatting the harddrive from the Disk's "Disk Utility". Then go thru the installation of the previous operating system to the point where you can once again proceed with the download and installation of Lion.
Hope this helps

Imac will not boot up after power failure

Does anyone know why i have to unplug the power cable from the back of my imac after every power failure at my home to get the imac to boot up. I've tried resetting the surge protecter and unplugging there. However, the only option is to unplug the cord from the back of the monitor/imac before it will boot up. Any ideas or is this a known bug.

You're effectively resetting the SMC.
If you're getting that many power outages you need to be using a UPS (Uninteruptible Power supply), not just a surge protecter.
Power interruptions at the wrong time can cause directory damage or even physical damage to the Hard Drive if the heads were reading or wriing at the time.

Slow ADSL speed since power failure during trainin...

Hi all,
When our BT total broadband was installed, we had a power failure during the 10 day training period (back in June).
At the start of the training period, we had a speed of 3936 kbps downstream:
16:32:27, 28 Jun. ( 76.590000) DSL noise margin: 20.00 dB upstream, 6.00 dB downstream
16:32:27, 28 Jun. ( 76.520000) DSL line rate: 448 Kbps upstream, 3936 Kbps downstream
which was within the speeds we expected prior to installation (from the BT website for our phoneline):
You can choose BT Broadband now offering:
3Mb *
Estimate download speed
1.5Mb-5.5Mb
Download speed range
However, since the power failure during training (June 2013) we have never managed to get close to that speed, even after consecutive weeks of the HH4 being connected. Our current ADSL stats are pretty representative of what we have achieved ever since:
DSL noise margin: 21.00 dB upstream, 6.10 dB downstream
DSL line rate: 448 Kbps upstream, 1344 Kbps downstream
The connection sometimes holds for weeks on end - other times it cuts out without any cause (from our end at least). For example, earlier today (after an uptime of 11680 mins):
12:11:13, 27 Oct.
(3862269.900000) DSL noise margin: 21.00 dB upstream, 6.10 dB downstream
12:11:13, 27 Oct.
(3862269.830000) DSL line rate: 448 Kbps upstream, 1344 Kbps downstream
12:10:42, 27 Oct.
(3862239.140000) DSL is down after 11680 minutes uptime
12:10:42, 27 Oct.
(3862239.140000) ETHoA is down after 11680 minutes uptime
12:10:41, 27 Oct.
(3862238.020000) PPPoA is down after 11680 minutes uptime [Waiting for Underlying Connection (WAN DSL - Up)]
12:10:39, 27 Oct.
(3862235.790000) PPP LCP Send Termination Request [User request]
We have an external NTE box outside the house so no 'master' socket inside the house.
Any help you can offer would be much appreciated - the internet literally crawls along sometimes!

Domain controller VMs using dynamic VHDx corrupt after power failure

Over the past couple of months I have experienced 4 dead 2008 R2 SP1 domain controllers after power failure on Hyper-V 2012 hosts. The domain controller VMs will start after power failure and have varying degrees of file system corruption. In each instance
the corruption has rendered the domain controller unusable. The problem has not occurred with every power failure, but in testing the failure rate has been over 10%.
The Hyper-v 2012 hosts are as follows:
Dell PowerEdge r720 with flash backed write cache on Raid controller
Dell PowerEdge T710 with battery backed write cache on Raid controller
Dell PowerEdge T310 with a single SATA hard drive and write cache disabled
Generic system with a single SATA hard drive and write cache disabled
The VM configuration experiencing corruption is as follows:
Each VM was created from a base 2008 R2 SP1 syspreped VHDx image template file (40 Gigs)
The image template was originally created as a VHD and was then converted to a VHDx
The VHDx file has 512k sectors instead of the native 512e of VHDx files (a result of VHD - VHDx conversion)
Each VM was assigned 1024 Meg RAM and 1 virtual processor
The domain controllers were created by promoting the base 2008 r2 install to a DC after base image deployment
Only one corrupt VM was not running the 2012 integration components. The rest were running current 2012 integration components
I have done extensive testing on this issue and the problem for me seems to revolve around the VHDx file format. I have managed numerous Hyper-v installations since the original 2008 server version was released and I have never seen corruption like this
until 2012 and VHDx.
For the past few days I have been testing fixed sized VHD VMs on a 2012 host and I have not been able to reproduce the data corruption issue. I seem to only be able to reproduce the problem when using dynamic VHDx files. I have not done any testing on 2012
hosts with fixed size VHDx files or dynamic VHD files.
It would be great to hear from anybody else experiencing similar issues so that we can compare notes and hopefully get to the bottom of this problem.

To be honest I was excited to see this fix released, but there are two problems.
1. The hotfix causes BSOD if you have VLANs with a teamed NIC configuration. I found this out the hard way on a production system. How in the world did this thing get through testing and into automatic updates?
2. The hotfix does not seem to resolve the issue in my test environment.
I opened up a case with support and they informed me that they would not provide support for this issue and that I had to open a case with premier support. Premier support informed me that I cannot open a case with them unless I sign a $50,000 per year service
contract. Is there anywhere to get support on this issue?

I started Boot Camp on a MAC mini but then had a power failure after 30 secs :( Now when I start Boot Camp the option to install Windows 7 is gone. In it's place is Remove Windows 7. It seems to hang at Partitioning disk Can I recover?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's because the Boot Camp volume was created, but your Mac hasn't been set up to start automatically from the Windows disc. Insert the Windows DVD and press C key while your Mac is starting to start Windows installation.
If you want to make sure that everything is correct, open Boot Camp Assistant and choose the option to remove Windows 7. Then, open that application again, select the option to install Windows 7 and you will be able to install Windows as usual
