Leopard hangs starting /usr/sbin/ocspd after both upgrade and clean install

I have a clean SuperDuper backup, so I can always go back to Tiger, but since I've paid for Leopard, it sure would be nice to run it!
I've got a MacBookPro with 4GB of RAM that's only a few months old. It has been happily running 10.4.10.
Earlier today, I tried an Upgrade to Leopard, which appeared to work, though the system would not boot. The gray screen with the Apple logo and the spinner appears, and then the spinner stops. Powering off and restarting hangs at the same place. Booting off the external drive properly boots Tiger and mounts the internal drive on the Tiger desktop, so the internal drive appears to be fine. Disk Utility says it's fine. It just hangs.
Since I have a perfect bootable backup, I go for the clean install. This first appears to work, and lets me boot Leopard. I restore Documents and Music and begin to install apps, and I notice that some apps appear to be hung. After installing each app, I run it, enter whatever license information is required and update to the latest rev, and quit it. At some point I realized that the last few apps I'd quit are still running. A quick check of top reveals that none of them are chewing up a lot of CPU, but when I quit top, I can't get back to a shell prompt, either. Opening a new Terminal tab doesn't get me to a prompt, either. I finally hold down the power key to reboot.
It hangs at the same gray screen. Disk Utility still says the disk is clean.
I use Command-V to boot in verbose mode, and I note that the last line that appears is:
/usr/sbin/ocspd[86]: starting
I've rebooted several times, and that's always the last line that displays. Apparently something has scrambled ocspd?
I'm going to try another clean install, and avoid GlowWorm FW Lite this time around. I'd installed a bunch of apps, but I think that was the first one to hang on me.
Anyone else with similar experiences? I've never had trouble with OSX upgrades before, so I'm still kinda in shock about this.

I restarted in Safe Mode (hold down shift), which did start!
I then removed GlowWorm 1.5.3beta by simpy dragging it to the trash (couldn't find an uninstaller anywhere).
Now when I boot, it still hangs, but ocspd is no longer the last message displayed. Instead, I get 'Login Windows Application Started' last sometimes, and mds complaining that there was an unclean shutdown of /.Spotlight-V100/long/path/name sometimes.
I'm trying Safe Boot again, but I'm not sure what else to try to remove! I think I'm back to Clean Install again after all.

Failed TM backup after Mavericks upgrade via clean install. Nothing works incl. "tmutil" command. The time points appear but not clickable.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion via clean install. Restoring my data via migration assistant failed. Then I tried Time Machine. Altough I can see all backup time points no one is active. Then I tried to inherent and to associate the backups to the "new" disk, but it didn´t work.
Thanks in advance

Hit the nail on the head Eric, I have quite a lot in there due to system age, so turned them all off and had a nice fast system returned with no hanging.
so definately something in the startup group and i will try each at a time and see where the problem comes from..
Looking at more logs my guess is the problem will be with one of -

sickbeard
both of which starting on login, both using databases and im seeing sql errors on startup...
more info when i have enabled/disabled some more apps.

Iphoto wont open after system upgrade and iLife install

I installed Leopard and reallized i had to also buy iLife because the old version of iphoto was not supported by the the new operating system. Installed iLife and everything works exept iphoto. It acts as though it is "loading library" and then a pop-up window shows up saying:
"The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iphoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previouse versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library."
I have hit "upgrade". But it still does not open.
I have about 9000 photos saved on an external drive.
I have repaired permissions as well as trashed iphoto and re-installed.
I read similar posts and am tempted to create a new library with library photo manager but am affraid i will lose some of my pictures.
I should include that because I couldn't open after the os update, I went into the my photo folders through finder and added new pix that I needed to get off of my camera. I've sinced trashed those folders.
Any ideas?
THanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Thanks for the heads up on the out of date screenshot of BatChmod. It's been updated now. If all you your efforts to get your library updated and running fail you might try rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager. It creates a new library based on the data in the AlbumData.xml file and leaves your current library untouched. Here's how that would work:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

All USB drives disconnect after upgrade and clean install of MAC OS X Mavericks

I first upgraded to Mavericks and noticed that my external USB dries would disconnect after MBP Retina Mid 2012 model was updated to Mavericks. These worked fine in all versions of Mac OS X before upgrade. So I did a clean install figured my machine would benifit from this anyway. This did NOT fix the problem.
Wouldn't be much of an issue but I use this macine as a media server with Plex and all the media is in one of the external USB 3.0 drives. All drives are from Seagate, and have found no info there. Guessing this is a bug that Apple needs to fix unless its a Seagate issue which I doubt.

If the tracks are recognized by your iPod (playable), search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your Mac.
If they're just on your iPod as data, then I'm not certain since I don't use a custom hierarchy, but you should be able to copy the folder back to your iTunes Music folder, turn off the "copy to iTunes library when adding to library" preference, and then use the Add To LIbrary command to get them recognized by iTunes. Again, though, I don't use a custom hierarchy, so you might want to ask that question as a new post, just to get additional opinions.
BTW, an iPod is not a reliable backup for your tracks. Too many situations can arise that would cause your iPod to need to be erased. I strongly recommend that you make backups, particularly of any tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store or that would otherwise be difficult to replace, to CD, DVD, external hard drive, or other medium.

Help with iPhoto migration/upgrade to Aperture, after HDD replacement and clean install.

I'm getting ready to replace the internal HDD in my iMac, and perform a clean install.
I'm currently running:
OS X Lion, version 10.7.5
iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2
After the clean install:
The latest version of OS X Mavericks
Installing a fresh version of Aperture, and *hopefully* importing all of my photos from my old iPhoto, into new Aperture (193 GB worth of photos).
What's the best (specifically: SAFEST) way to go about making sure my photos successfully import from my old HDD, and old version of iPhoto, into a new version of Aperture on what will basically be a brand new computer? Is this just a matter of dragging and dropping the "iPhoto Library" to an external USB drive, then somehow bringing that folder into Aperture after my machine is up and running with it's new hardware and software?
Thanks in advance for your help!

From what I understand, iLife 11 comes bundled with 10.9
No -- no version of iLfe or of iPhoto comes bundled with any OS
if I simply drag and drop my existing iPhoto library to an external drive right now (despite being a library from an old version of iPhoto), I'll be able to simply import that library into the bundled version of iPhoto 11 that'll come with my clean install of 10.9, without any corruption of image library, loss of metadata, etc...?
Sort of
1 - the EHD must be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)
2 - there is no iLife '11 bundled with Mavericks (or any other OS) - you must pruchase iPhoto '11 in the App store
3 - there is no importing of anything involved - you simply drag your iPhtoo library to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto letting it upgrade the library
No corruption, lss of data or other problems - unless somethng goes wrong - which is why you need a backup before doing this - your copy on the EHD is fine - just do not open it directly - make sure you are opening a copy

Is there a way to recover iPhoto library after erasing drive and clean install of Mavericks?

Is there a way to recover the photos in my iphoto library after erasing my SSD drive and reinstalling mavericks? My time capsule backed everything up except iphoto, and I had 3 years worth of important photots in there. Is there any way to recover them?

In addition to using a Time Capsule drive and using Time Machine, with this painful lesson learned, in the near future, purchase another high quality, high speed (USB 3.0, Thundetbolt OR FireWIre 800 depending what connections are on your Mac) external hard drive, formatted for Mac, and use a data cloning app such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to make bootable clones/copies of your Mac's entire internal hard drive.
Bootable clones and data cloning apps are the best and most reliable way of creating reliable backups of your important data in the future.
Also, my other advise stands, too! If you have data the is like "gold" to you copy this data manually to other media such as CDs/DVDs and/or high capacity USB flash drives.
Sorry you have lost your precious photos.
Painful lesson, but good info to prevent this all from happening,again.
WIth computers, having many copies and redundancies of data is key to never losing important computer data.
Again, sorry.

Phantom folders after HD format and clean osx install

I was having frequent checksum and other misc errors while trying to mount DMGs or install programs so i decided to format my drive and do a clean install of snow leopard.
After the format and clean install of snow leopard, I did the following..
Join my wi-fi network
Run software update
Installed Xcode
Installed macports, ruby19, python, scala, macruby
installed bbedit, textmate, yojimbo, coda, transmit, omniplan, omnigraffle, omnifocus
Run mobileme sync
and then i discovered the following folders in my application folder.
Access Music
Adobe Bridge CS5.
These folders used to be in my applications folder along with 100+ other applications before I formatted and installed snow leopard.
None of the applications I installed, after snow leopard are dependent or related to these 2 phantom apps even remotely.
How could this have happened?
I'm not on drugs, I've developed software for over 25 years and I'm currently an Architect for financial site that serves millions of users well, so I guess I'm not a complete idiot and I'm also not senile. I'm not 40 yet
Can someone offer an explanation for this? The apple tech I mentioned this to, thought I was a moron as I expected he would. He did find issues with my drive using Disk Warrior though even though disk utility and tech tool had found nothing after several runs.

I'm sorry you had that experience with the Apple tech.
Files still remain on the hard drive even after a format if not done with several passes
If you formatted in Disk Utility or used Disk Utility to format, the data that was formatted would be converted into "Free Space" and placed near the end of the drive. There are security options in Disc Utility that prevent this from happening.
Most likely the reason was those folders remained was because the "Free Space" was not wiped. Disc Warrior, a data recovery software was able to locate more files because of this. It does a great job of recovering deleted or formatted data.
I hope this answers your question.

Excessive /usr/sbin/ocspd launching

I keep seeing "/usr/sbin/ocspd[583]: starting" in my console log. It averages a restart every 15 minutes or so, sometimes more frequently.
I haven't broke down and used gdb on the **** thing, because I don't feel like debugging Leopard like Linux, which I actually paid for. I'm wondering if this is typical behavior. Is the daemon really supposed to stop so often? It gives the impression that it's crashing.
If it is an actual bug, fortunately the it's open source and Apple has posted code. I'll fix the thing myself, if I must, but I'm hoping it unloads when it's unused and this is a non-issue.

What to do after archive and clean install

I had to re-install 10.3 on my G5 after the hard drive icon icon disappeared from my desktop and the finder froze. Its back to normal now after I did a clean install of 10.3, choosing the archive and install option. What should be my next step? How do I get all my stuff in the 'previous system' folder (my music, photos, etc.) to the main account? Can I somehow log in my old account with all my stuff and delete the new one I had to make? What's the easiest way to do this?
