Mac OS X 10.4.6 Components to be repaired

Hi
With this update, all is working better than before excep for:
ImageIO - The flaw [http://macnn.com/rd/53800==http://www.drunkenblog.com/drunkenblog-archives/000 760.html: warning, will crash Safari], posted by DrunkenBlog, crashes anything using the Mac OS X ImageIO API including Finder, Preview, and applications based on Webkit and WebCore.

Assuming you have an optical drive in or connected to your MBP, the easiest way to go is to do a backup of your existing iTunes library to DVDs (you may need several) .  In iTunes 9, this is done with selecting File->Library->Back Up to Disc... and following the directions.  I do not see that capability in the current iTunes, though, but if one is using Tiger, one is limited to iTunes 9.
When the discs are burned, mounting any of the discs on the MBP should cause iTunes (you may need to have it up) to ask if you want to import the files.  It goes pretty smoothly, or at least it has for me in Mt. Lion and Win-7.  It's a little involved but it does work.

  • Mac Pro Slow Shutting down Disk Ut says needs repair

    Hi hope someone can help,
    My mac pro has been taking a long time to shut down recently and this morning when i booted up all i had was a black screen with my mouse pointer (really weird).
    I used Disk Utility to "verify disk" and it said that repairs were necessary. Here's the log:

    Disk Utility stopped verifying “Aygies Raid” because the following error was encountered:
    The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    I have a clone of my drive on an external drive so i booted from that i tried to repair permissions on mac pros drives but it said repairs weren't needed, Log:

    The volume Aygies Raid appears to be OK.

    But then i booted from the mac pro again and it said that it needs repair! I used disk warriour and this is its log:

    Explanations:
    Folder Depth: This number indicates how many folders are nested inside each other. If a disk contains only three
    folders and Folder A is inside Folder B and Folder B is inside Folder C, then this disk has a maximum folder depth of
    three. Folders nested too deeply can cause software compatibility problems.
    Property List: This is a standard file format for storing data and is often used to store preferences. The names of
    these files normally end with a .plist file extension. Corrupt property list files can cause system instability.
    Resource Data: This is an older file format for storing data and was often used to store preferences. The names of
    these files normally end with a .rsrc file extension. Corrupt resource data files can cause system instability.
    System Symbolic Link Files: These are files used by the operating system that are similar to aliases. If these files are
    damaged it may prevent startup or cause system instability.

    Went back to Disk utility and now it says that my hard drive doesn't need repair! whats going on! can anyone help?!
    Thank you

    Two things off the top:
    128MB are GUID partitions that are not user volumes.
    There is also a 200MB EFI partition as well.
    Drive Genius needs to get their program updated.
    You need to work from an "emergency" boot drive to repair your boot drive, RAID or no. I hope you are and not from CD or DVDs.
    Forget about Permissions. They are very minor. They only have to do with ownership and security and based on what is in
    /Library/Receipts
    Trying to verify? all you want to do is repair and rebuild.
    If you ran DU and DW and did repair and rebuild and WROTE NEW DIRECTORY and the problem remains, erase and restore, or...
    +I am useless with RAID and have no idea...+
    Don't use it except to test, learn, experiment with. But not for system drive.
    Above I asked, "are these a matched pair of drives" ie, same make, (looks like same size), vendor, model? they should be. Less chance of trouble if nothing else.
    ON the boot volume, do a Get Info when you click on the drive, look for "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" and make sure it is NOT CHECKED. It can't be to repair permissions and be bootable.
    The underlying cause of disk errors may be marginal or bad RAM. Test those FBDIMMs. Run Apple Hardware Test and Memtest (even Microsoft uses Memtest for Vista).
    Drives rarely break. Systems do. Directory and btree catalogue and volume information blocks do.

  • Have a mac book pro that crashed. ran disk utility to repair. comp booted and ran for short time. then crashed. ran repair again. disk utility said it could not repair files and i needed to format hard drive and start again. now nothing works

    Erase and Install
    1. 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.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU after formatting completes and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    5. After restart into Snow Leopard download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • New 11" Mac Air, Can I manually upgrade components?

    I just purchased a new 11" Mac Air with the following specs:
    1.7GHz Intel Dual-Core Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz
    4GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
    256GB Flash Storage
    I know this will void the warranty but am I able to open the cover and manually install 2, 4GB chips so I have 8GB ram?
    Also can I do the same for the 256 and make it 512 or do I need a special kind?
    Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question I know some machines are NOT made to reconfigure.  Need your guy's expertise,
    Warm Regards,
    Dave

    sorry. macbook air are not user upgradeable.
    RAM is soldered on to the logic board and your flash drive is attached via daughterboard to your logic board.

  • Repairing permissions on a new MAC PRO .... why are they NOT repairing?

    Hi.
    Thanks for reading this.
    I just got a MAC PRO running OS 10.5.7
    Processor is a 2 x 2.93 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
    Four 1 TB internal hard drives
    6 GB RAM
    I am up to date on everything.
    (Just ran software update this morning before typing this)
    I KEEP getting the same "errors" every time I run Repair Permissions on Disk Utility or Drive Genius 2:
    (Details copied below)
    Is there anything that can be done about this?
    I seem to recall something similar years ago on a G4 where permissions could be repaired all day long and you would get the same things coming up.

    Some persmissions don't change.
    Sometimes I'd just rerun the combo update.
    I am sure there are FAQs and tips in the OS X Leopard about this daily.
    And always clone your system before you install updates, patches, etc.
    I think Drive Genius has similar feature to SuperDuper.
    Then try the update on either the clone or on your main system.

  • Lost Mac OS 9.1 Safari super fast...repaired back got Mac OS X 10.1 and IE?

    having deleted the driver off the desktop rsently(thinking it was the DVD doubled install) i took my APPLE to my PC doctor.i showed him the 3 CDs that came with it and explained the deletion,and he said they can't be used to reinstall the driver/safari for the Mac.they were Software Restore...Software Install and Apple Hardware Test(hardware problems)so i left the tower with him and got it back with Mac OS X/version 10.1/Memory 768MB dated 2001 on the finer print at the bottom of the page from.....about this Mac page.i repower the tower verify connections going in with Verizon Fios techs and all is good.the apple screen comes up and i can access the internet but it is slow if i post are start threads on info sites and you tube sits with the color time out wheel till i reset the tower.even off the apple home page into basic sites the black/white time shows up second pass and the page comes up.called the PC repair guy and he said he needs the original program cd for the safari and driver that the unit came with,and the 3 i showed him didn't have itmy desktop shows the IE icon in place of the Safari icon before i nuked the driver.my question is where would somebody get this mystery cd or is it downloadable..appreciate any info on getting this PC back to the way it was.thank you

    With numerous joined words, and runon sentences, it is a wonder anyone can understand what you are trying to say. Try to break down what you did into separate smaller sentences. Space the sentences with two spaces after each period. Use uppercase the letter EYE. And state your problem clearly.

  • Dual disk Mac mini server - disk issue Disk Utility can't repair

    ML Server.
    There are two disks: Server OS HD and Server Mac HD. The Server OS HD only contains the OS and the Apple software update catalog. The Users folder is on the Server Mac HD. When the server is started / running, I go to the Disk utility > verify the Server Mac HD and I am told the Journal needs to be replayed but the volume is read only (it can't be!) and some other errors with regards to headers and bitmaps. DU then stops verifying the disk. I start the Mac mini / Server into recovery mode, try to verify the Server Mac HD. There are no problems - the "disk appears to be okay". I did this several times to same effect! How the heck do I repair the disk?

    I see what you mean about live verification.
    But didn't realize that the common sensical approach of separating the OS data from non-OS (user) data was an unusual config. Figured, it couldn't have any downside to it or atleast the least drawbacks.... had considered striping etc. but coulnd't see THAT much of a benefit in striping given my particular use / scenario. I have the system backed up to an external Time Machine drive (and will be doing an offsite / online backup of mostly user folders in the near future).
    It would be interesting to see the results of fsck check though, like John said.
    Anyway this whole thing was initiated because one of the users was getting an error of iTunes library being on a read only volume or on a locked volume. After repairing the Mac HD through Disk Utility in recovery mode (evethough no errors were found, I simply repaired it), that issue seemed to have resolved. So eventhough DU reported no errors, there must have been some small error - atleast it seems that way!
    Thanks to both for the help!

  • Why does my mac keep ejecting my WB external even after I repaired it in the disk utility?

    it also does this with my itouch and I have to keep reinstlling itunes just to synch my music.

    By WB do you mean Western Digitial? If so there may be a problem with the HD, WD EHD's don't have a good track record with OS X. They are popular because they're cheap however the enclosures they use eventually cause problems with OS X.

  • Adober Reader suddenly won't open any PDF files (Mac)

    I had an old version, I downloaded the latest one, upgraded to the newest, even tried taking that one out and downloading an older version. It doesn't matter which version I seem to have, it won't open any pdf files from the web.
    I use a Mac, and Safari. It used to always load PDF files fine, one random place said I had to update it so I did and since then, lately it'd crash and close all Safari windows when loading a PDF or trying to copy something from a PDF. The smart Mac message I have says it could be related to an Adobe Plug in. However, now it won't even load PDF files at all, it always goes to a white page. Nothing happens.
    What do I do?? I can't even save the PDF's as individual files and view then in Preview as an alternative option. It's a link online and normally would work. What happened??
    HELP!
    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
    I've always used Safari, it's Version 5.0.5 (5533.21.1 if that means anything).
    Acrobat Reader, currently an old version 9.4.0 download. BUT, I had also the 10.0.1 version which also doesn't work. When I had that 10.0.1 version and checked for updates, there was an update (.3 I think?) and I did that and that also doesn't work!
    Why did it suddenly stop working?
    What can I do to fix it ASAP?
    Only with 9.4.0 version I can go to Help and "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" - I click that and the only box I can select is "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin - View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDFs within Safari"  - I click continue and it tells me there's "No missing components detected. Repairs are not needed." The only option is to click "OK".
    With any newer version of Adobe Reader, under Help there is no option to "Repair Adobe Reader Installation". So... I can't even try that with a new version.
    I am at a loss for solutions. Hope someone here can help! Thanks!

    There are several things you can do. My first step would be to repair permissions. If that doesn't work log on as a different user. If all works properly then you have a corrupt preference file (most likely) or a corrupt user font installed in your user Library (less likely). If that doesn't work download Applejack. Have it repair the disk, remove all system caches and user caches. Then have it check all system and user preference files. Remove any preference files that are corrupt. Reboot and see if your system is working properly.

  • 3050A Scanner won't talk to my Mac OSX 10.6.8

    I originally had the issue where the scanner was simply scanning a portion of the page (mentioned and solved in another thread here). However, my problem has now grown....
    I was temporarily able to the scan images correctly by going through the Applications folders and clicking on the Scan 3 icon and directing the scan from this. However, now even this won't work and the scanner doesn't communicate at all with my Mac OSX 10.6.8 - I can't even get it to scan from the control panel on the product. The printer works fine - however I haven't acutally checked the printer again since doing the following:
    I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled. I have checked for updates and it is indicating that I have updated software, yet when I click on HP Utility, I get the following error msg:
    Some components installed on your computer were developed for another version of HP Utility. These components will not be loaded and some functionality related to your device will not be accessible. Please click HP Support item on the toolbar to visit HP Online Support site and download the latest versions of HP software.
    I did this but I keep getting the msg that my software is up to date. So what now?
    I have noticed that there are 2 scan icons in the Applications folder and one of them doesn't register the product at all when clicked. The Scan 3 icon used to work, but now just perpetually tries to open a connection with the printer and never can, when I try to cancel it it then goes into perpetual canceling mode and the only way I can shut it down is to Force Quit.
    Any suggestions on how to remedy this before I throw my new HP 3050A off of the balcony 
    This question was solved.

  • MAC Mini 10.4.8 update crashed my system

    Yesterday a message popped up on my screen, said I should update to 10.4.8. I did and after rebooting the system locked up in trying to find the mouse/keyboard. I then called Mac support and was told that I would have to buy support contract before they could help.
    I don't figure how they can **** up my system and then want me to pay for it. I was almost an apple convert. But now I think Linux is the only way to go. MAC ***** and I will inform anyone I know not to buy one.
    The MAC mini does not even have a cd eject button, if the OS does not start you can't get the cd out. Can I load Linux on the system.. Will have to check on that.
    Later,
    William

    William,
    As someone who has updated a rather large number of Macs to 10.4.8, I can tell you without any doubt at all that there is nothing wrong with the update. What tends to happen in these situations is that updating a system brings to light issues that pre-existed and which should have been fixed before updating took place. There are instances, for example, where as a result of utilities used or add-ons installed, the software update process may mis-identify the particular model of Mac you are using or the components it contains, and download the wrong, or incomplete, update. The easy fix is to download the full 10.4.8 'Combo' update from the apple/support/downlaods page and install that. This resolves most updating issues because the combo update contains all the components and recourses for all systems.
    By the way, what you read here is primarily going to be complaints about faulty systems or software, so while it's informative to look at what other people are posting, it isn't indicative of anything much other than that some users are having some problems. It's a bit like a hospital waiting room, where the people are typically going to be sick other wise they wouldn't be there - but you can't, of course, infer from their presence that the entire city is sick!
    MacOS 10.4.8 doesn't slow systems down at all. Bad cache files, poorly maintained systems, conflicting fonts, out of date prebinding, erroneous permissions, damaged properly lists, etc etc, are all capable of causing system performance issues and all need to be examined and resolved. As a Linux user, no doubt you are familiar with these concepts.
    As to Apple support - your perception may vary, but they still score consistently high on the consumer satisfaction surveys of such people as JD Power and PC Magazine. There is always room for improvement of course and Apple is far from perfect, but one thing that we do see happening a lot is that as new users join the throng of Mac owners, they tend to bring their expectations of need to run maintenance and utility software with them from other platforms. What is often needed in Windows, for example, to keep a system running well is rarely needed in MacOS - and can actually create issues rather than resolve them.
    Oh, and:
    I have done nothing to my system.
    Setup 7/24/2006, used it for web, creating doc's and email.
    Got no help from Apple because it's been 90 days.
    10/28/2006 or 10/29/2006 looks like they timed
    the update to cause systems to crash so they
    could charge for support in fixing it.
    Is just plain childish. Firstly, that supposes everyone bought their systems at the same time as you did, which I'd imagine you can see is a bit unlikely. Secondly, it flies in the face of the majority of users who report no issues. Thirdly, Apple wouldn't survive long if they had that sort of business practice. Fourthly, it abdicates all responsibility you have for your own system.

  • Printing PDF with Acrobat 9.0 for CS4 and Mac OSx10.6.2 not working properly.

    I downloaded the CS4 for MAC Trial before purchasing.  I work on a MacBook Pro OSx10.6.2.  The download and installation was successful.
    However, upon launching the Adobe Acrobat 9.0 software, I received the following message: "REPAIR SETUP: Acrobat has detected that there are missing components that require repair. Select the optional components you would like to repair and click continue."  My choices were: 1) Adobe PDF Printer, and 2) Adobe PDF View Safari Plugin.  I chose Continue.  When I am in another program (like Quark 7.5), and try to Print to the Adobe 9.0 Printer, the document spools, as if printing, but I do not get prompted to save the PDF anywhere, and when it is done "printing" there is not a document saved anywhere.  It appears to be getting stuck in the distilled, although I don't really know. I tried un-installing the entire CS4 software and re-installing and had the same exact thing happen again.  Can anyone help?

    Do as I do on some items. Install a utility called TypeIt4Me the go to the announcement. Copy the link. choose add clipping give it a name put / or \ at the end so it you type the same words normally it don't trigger the typeIt4Me entry.  then when you need to type the words (code used) and wait for TypeIt4Me enter it.  the item highlighted in my attachment is this:

  • Mac OSX 10.7 Not Even Starting to Download

    So i got my brother's macbook pro. So the macbook air i had was going to my sister. So i erased all data and tried to download Mac OSX 10.7 with recovery Disk. So i repair disk, everything (No problems were found). And i started download, and there is a Mac OSX 10.7 install screen, with the Macintosh HD icon, and under that with a download bar. And on top of the Mac. HD says Downloading Additional components. Your computer will restart automatically. I earlier did this exact same thing on my older sister's macbook air, and the download just started instantly. only took 30-60 min. But this macbook air, well its not even starting to download. it dosent even say its downloading or how long its gonna take. It has been 15-30 min since i started downloading. And it just stays the same. It would be great if i can get this problem solved ASAP. Since my sister has to use her computer.
