Leopard Installation Failure from 10.4.10 AdditionalVoice

Two attempts with installation (took default) - took long time to verify DVD install disc - failed twice 50% into full installation after verified returning that addition speech items could not be verified on DVD I assume.
I was able to remove installation DVD and rebooted from HD - took a few minutes to come up and 10.5 was showing as the installed version ?
I am now checking what has been installed - seems new features are present and working - confused now what failed and what was installed?
This is more like a Microsoft than Apple installation.

It is an issue with Symantec Antivirus

How can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it?

how can I create a disk image of snow leopard installer disk from my Imac which runs it? It came without DVD installer, and I want to make a copy of it's OS installer but can't find out how.

You need to have the disc in order to create disk image of snow leopard installer disc. What did your machine ship with? If something later than SL, then why? If earlier, then you can buy the SL installer disc and make the disk image.

Leopard installation problems (from tiger 10.4.11)

I've been on Tiger but today I've updated to leopard using the update disc (ie not the $129/£85 version of leopard but the $9.95/£5.95 update disc)
Installation went fine but Im pretty sure I forgot to restart my mac after it.
Anyways I carried on with the update to 10.5.1. from the apple site (which I downloaded through safari browser. That went fine too, then I restarted my mac.
I started exploring leopard and now I need help!
firstly, Safari just wont open. It says safari wont work with this version of mac os x, therefore Im typing this through camino.
Secondly, photo booth is the same as in tiger, no new updates etc but now the effects screen has just gone weird; (see pic) (the camera is taking a pic of a white background by the way)
I admit I did change some locations of apps in the apps folder for example, when I was on tiger, i created a subfolder in the apps folder entitled 'Web browsers', and put safari, camino, firefox into. Did a similar thing to photo booth app too.
But then I read on a forum that when upgrading OS's apps should be in the 'default' location before upgrading. So I moved all these apps back to the apps folder, but this hasnt changed anything.
Also, when viewing folders in icon mode, at a large icon size, the icons all overlap until i go to view in the menu bar, select arrange by name, then its all evened out, but I wish it'd just work properly!
Also not a big deal but I though that when viewing in icon mode that you should be able to see a little screenshot preview of the item/document instead of an icon (eg. instead of a blank pages for a pages document, should you not see a mini preview of the fist page of the actual document as the icon?)
Im sure there is other things too that aren't as they ought to be.
So I ask, how do i fix this mess? I cant uninstall leopard i dont think, and i dont have an external hard drive to backup to.
Any suggestions please?
Regards, Ben.

I'm just going by instinct here, but after you move the apps back where they belong, try reinstalling the 10.5.1 update again. Maybe it will "straighten" things out.
Yes, one should never move system folders or apps to other folders. That's a real NONO. You can usually move 3rd party apps around, but the OS-X looks for certain apps in certain places. Safari is more than just an app - it's tightly integrated into the OS, and there are also many apps that attach to it such as realtime, etc., that may not be able to find it if you play hide-and-seek with it.
So restore all the system apps to their original locations and see if a reinstall of 10.5.1 will help.
Use the 110MB download on the Apple website.

ASM installation failure from Oracle GRID under Windows 7 64 bit

I am a rookie..I am running Oracle database 11gR2 running on a Windows 7 64 bit system.
I am implementing ASM onto my system solely for learning purposes
The implementation of ASM has changed between database releases 11gR1 and 11gR2 such that it is no longer configured locally but is now implemented from within Oracle GRID. Unfortunately, the book I am using to study my OCP from was written at the time of 11gR1 so I can no longer follow its instructions to create and configure ASM. Instead of using DBCA I now need to use ASMCA to configure ASM.
As a preliminary requirement I successfully installed Oracle Grid and configured it to run on my standalone server.
I created two partitions on my harddrive ...... drive G: and drive H: with intent of using them as my ASM disks. 45 Gig and 50 gig in size respectively formatted with the NTFS filesystem.
I ran ASMCA in an attempt to create an ASM instance
I specified these partition drives '\\.\G:' and '\\.\H:' in the disk discovery path which were successfully picked up.
However when ASMCA executed the creation process after some time it failed with the following message:
One or more diskgroup(s) creation failed as below:
DiskGroup mydisks creation failed with the following message:
ORA-15018: diskgroup cannot be created
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17090], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], []

Ok. As above the ASM instance appeared to have been successfully created so as part of my investigative process to confirm what the script actually did successfully execute I attempted to log into the ASM instance to see how far it would get. It fails with the following result

There is an OracleOHService and it is running
LISTENER is running ie the local listener running on port 1521 that was originally created with a previous basic stand alone installation of the Oracle 11gR2 database . (ie before I installed Oracle GRID). No other listeners are running.
Can t see any evidence of any ASM service on Windows Task manager started/stopped or otherwise. Neither can I see evidence of a CSS service.
The log file that was generated is large I am not clear on what I should be looking for in order to find clues as to how I might manually resolve this problem and possibly 'salvage' the installation. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
read the documentation:

and you will find multiple errors, you probably did.
Especially the part on preparing storage.

Solaris 10 installation failure from cd's

Hi All,
I am attempting to install Solaris 10 on my x86 laptop. I run the installation from cd #1 and go through the steps and installation will begin. I am choosing to install the entire distribution and when cd #1 finishes (about 500 mb of the 4000mb) the machine is not prompting for the other cd's. The machine will simply reboot and give "Solaris 10 installation partially failed."
Upon reboot the grub screen appears and it will load and then fail.
Any ideas? Am I missing a step somewhere? Thanks.

LEOPARD INSTALLATION FAILURE

Purchased Leopard family pack. 1st laptop was a easy install. 2nd Macbook with parallels and XP PRO failed. Received error for validation of "Epson Printer Driver PKG". Had never installed a Epson printer, but found the drivers and anything else related to Epson and deleted. Emptied trash, rebooted, repaired all permissions, and the install still fails with about 35 minutes left. Help please.. What else can I do since I have deleted the Epson files?? Thanks for your time and consideration.

Just a guess here, but you might want to try to find the "Epson Printer Driver PKG" file and delete it. As I understand it the "pkg" files are like zipped files that contain the drivers, not the drivers themselves. Someone who is more knowledgable then I will probably know exactally where it is located (I think in the Library>Reciepts), but I'm guessing it's an old PKG file that is not compatable with Leopard and/or no longer being recognized by Epson.

Post Leopard Installation - Transfer data from "Previous System" folder

After the first attempt to install Leopard and got the evil blue screen, I had to reinstall my old Tiger from the original installation disks, then attempted a new installation of Leopard. This time I chose Archive and Install as one support article suggested, and chose Preserve user and network settings as instructed. This time the Leopard installation was successful, but now how do I retrieve my data (photos/itunes/mail)etc. from the "Previous System" folders?

There should be no need to sync the files. A previous system folder happens when you do an archive and install, so what's in that folder is identical to what your Mac was when you last did one. Presumably you've changed a lot of things since then and wouldn't want to go back.
Unless there are a few files you deleted and want back, then just copy them over. Then delete the entire thing, it's using up disk space.

Mac OX Snow Leopard installation from DVD failed

I tried to install the new OS Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (bought today) on my iMac. But is constantly failed (message: installation failed) and now it's in a loop where I can't get out. Because the only action there is is to try it again. What should I do?

What specific iMac model do you have? Does it meet these requirements?
Snow Leopard General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
To shut down the computer press and hold in the Power button until the computer shuts off. When you restart the computer you can eject the DVD as follows:
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
If you are currently running Leopard and it's still working then do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If all is OK then reboot from your Snow Leopard DVD and try the installation again.
BTW, I encourage you to make a cloned backup of your current working system before trying to upgrade.

Trouble booting from Leopard installation DVD

I'm having some trouble booting from the Leopard installation DVD, I was wondering if anyone here could help.
I want to reset my administrator password since OS X does not seem to be accepting it, and I heard that the best way to do this would be to boot from a Mac OS X installation DVD or CD and change some settings. When I start up my computer with the Leopard DVD in the drive, I hold down the 'C' key after the chime, and continue to hold it until the spinning gear appears.
From there, the spinning gear stays on the screen, and nothing happens. I've heard that it takes a while for the screen to come up, but I let it sit for over three hours and nothing happened. I also tried holding the Option key at startup and selecting the DVD, but the same thing happened. The DVD is in good shape and has no deep scratches, and it appears right away in the OS itself. I can't access the installer from the OS since it asks for my Administrator password, which it does not seem to be accepting. I also tried another solution to the Administrator password problem that involved typing some commands in Single User mode, but that did not help either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

what exactly did you try to do in single user mode?

FCS 2 Installation failure on 10.6.7

I'm installing FCS 2 on a MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon running 10.6.7 with 8GB of RAM
The installation runs normally up to the very end - just before it asks for the Motion Content disc. It asks for the main install disks, after insertion I get an Installation failure error message.
This is a cross grade version of FCS 2 from a prior version of FCS. Both versions were previously installed and operated as expected on my MBP 17 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo running Leopard 10.5.x
I was able to get it to finally load on the MBP 17 running 10.6.7 but only after several attempts.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I've repaired disk permissions on the MP.
Thanks
Bill

The absolute best way to install Apple's pro apps is a clean install, which involves cloning/backing up your system hard drive, then installing the OS, followed by the apps.
The next best option is to use FCS Remover ( http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/ ) to completely remove any components left from the previous version, then install the upgrade from the install discs (or disc images if you made those).

Disk Utility: cannot Repair Permissions, even on Leopard installation disk

After reinstall of iLife '08 and Software Update completed, I ran Repair Disk Permissions. Got an immediate red note "error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (sic)." with a flag: "First Aid failed. Disk Utility stopped repairing permissions on 'Mac HD...' because the following error was encountered: The underlying task reported failure on exit."
I went to my Leopard Installation disk and ran "Repair Disk." No problem found. From the Installation disk, ran Repair Disk Permissions. got the same RED INK comments and flag, First Aid failed.
Restarts don't help. Also, so far I have not found an application which is NOT working despite this Disk Utility problem, happy to report ;-))
Additional background. I was reinstalling iLife to fix iPhoto after a clean reinstallation of Leopard and reincorporation of files and apps vis Time Machine. It had been several weeks and iPhoto appeared to be the only app which was not quite right.

Disk Repair can trigger "underlying task" but I've never heard or seen a Permissions Repair do so.
You should never use the DVD to repair permissions. You should be using the same OS version. And of course you can always repair permissions from your boot drive; or from backup/clone or alternate "emergency" drive. Otherwise, the DVD and older version of DU will be wrong.
I know I read that on MacFixit, but I am not sure I bookmarked it.
Don't rely on Apple First Aid, even a clean bill of health doesn't mean there aren't problems which Disk Warrior can deal with.

Computer won't start properly after Leopard installation attempt

Yesterday I tried to install Leopard 10.5.6 on my G5 (currently running Tiger 10.4.11) and ran into a ton of problems. First, a message came up preventing me from upgrading without erasing my hard drive. I decided to quit the installer and back up my drive before erasing it, but after trying to start up again on my main disk, the computer will no longer get past the Apple logo screen. It stays that way for several minutes, and the computer revs and revs until it's at max RPM, then the computer just shuts off. I can't access my data to back it up.
I did some internet research and tried started up from the install DVD again (which still works) and tried to repair my disk using Disk Utility. This didn't work and an error message came up: "Attempted to Repair Disk, attempt failed. Invalid Node Structure, Volume Check Failed. Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit."
If anyone has any advice I would be VERY grateful, I am hoping to not have to have the computer repaired as I already have my other Mac out of service as well and the cost of repair has been high. I need to back up some important files before I update to Leopard, is there any way to do this while starting up from the DVD since my Startup disk doesn't work now? What happened??!!!

Is it possible that the piece stuck in the audio jack has resulted in turning off the internal speakers?
I would say that the Leopard installation is not 100%. Sometimes this happens. Or you may have a piece of software installed that mutes the speakers, and it needs to disable that. If it's not the latter, then I would erase the hard drive and reinstall from scratch. If that's not feasible then you can do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22. (Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.) Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? What can I do to fix it?

After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22.
(Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.)
Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? (And what can I do to fix it?)
Details:
G4 Gigabit Ethernet
Boot ROM version: 4.2.8fl
Accelerator card added: 1.6 MHz
1.5 Gig Ram
I have erased the partition that had Leopard installed on it.
I zapped the pram.
In Open Firmware, I "reset-nvram", and then "reset-all"
I tried to reinstall G4 FW Update 4.2.8, but that must be done when booted from OS 9, and of course, that's the problem: it won't boot into 9.
I tried restarting from 9.2.1 DVD.
I tried restarting from an external firewire drive containing OS 9.2.2.
I tried moving a fresh OS 9.2.2 system folder into an empty partition on an internal hard drive. (Partition was created WITH OS 9 drivers installed.)
All attempts to boot into OS 9 give me the same results - grey screen - no spinning beach ball, no icons or logos - just a blank grey screen.
This machine still works fine in OS 10.3 and 10.4, and it worked fine for many years booting into OS 9, until I installed Leopard, and I haven't been able to boot into OS 9 since then, although I have done considerable research online and tried many things.
I have since learned that this machine does not support Leopard - 10.5. Fine, but how did it break 9.2.2?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
Problem solved.
In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
"If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
Gratefully,
tupester
