Mac OS X installer crashes while restoring system
After several restarts to try correcting an unrelated problem (vertical gray lines on screen), my hard drive failed. I'm guessing it was in a fragile state and the restarts put it over the edge. Anyway, no problem, I had a Time Machine backup from a half hour earlier. I followed the instructions to boot from a system CD and restore my system from the last backup.
However, about a half hour into the estimated 9 hour process (230 GB of data), the installer stopped and displayed a crash log. I repeated twice and it failed at the same spot each time. Here's the first few lines of the crash log; I can post the rest if that helps:
Aug 3 19:57:45 localhost OSInstaller[154]: [RESTORE] Error -36 while restoring /Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb/Kiva/2010-08-03-143656/Kiva/Applications/iApps/iMovie 3.app/Contents/Resources/sv.lproj/iMovie Help/gfx/blt.gif to (null)

Aug 3 20:04:50 localhost OSInstaller[154]: to destination path: /Volumes/Kiva
Aug 3 20:05:40 localhost LCA[89]: Child exited with status 11
Next, I just installed a new OS from the CD, then tried using Migration Assistant to restore my Time Machine data, but Migration Assistant couldn't see my backup, either when connected directly to the machine via USB or wirelessly via my Airport.
Next, I tried connecting my backup to another computer, thinking I might be able to open the folder and restore it to my main computer using different backup software (Sync Pro X), but I couldn't open the backup .sparsebundle due to permissions errors (even when I changed its permissions to 777 from Terminal).
I finally gave up on Time Machine and restored my computer from an older Sync Pro X backup, then manually restored some important files from the newer Time Machine backup. But I wasted a whole evening on Time Machine. My question is: is there anything I can do to make Time Machine work in the future? Or should I just not even bother relying on that, and go straight to my Sync Pro X backup first? That would be a disappointment because those hourly backups sure are appealing, but hey, at least I didn't put all my reliance on that Time Machine backup.
Most likely, whatever was going wrong with your system corrupted some things, including the ones listed. Time Machine detected those changes and backed them up, so when you went to restore from your last backup, the installer choked on the corrupted files.
Sometimes you can repair the backups with Disk Utility.
If not, or if that doesn't help, you can usually choose an earlier backup and restore it successfully.
That would also explain why Migration Assistant didn't see the backups; it always uses the most recent backup -- you don't get a choice.
But I've learned over the years (mostly the hard way, of course ), never to trust my backups to a single app or piece of hardware: no app is perfect, and all hardware fails, sooner or later.
Like many here, I keep full Time Machine backups, plus a "bootable clone" on a separate external HD. I use CarbonCopyCloner, many use the similar SuperDuper. That gives me the best of both types of backups, plus of course a completely separate, independent backup.

)Hi Barry,
Actually, Lotus Notes is still used by a lot of companies. By the way, it looks like IBM finally recognized 8.5.2 is a bad installer package and pulled it from their partner site.
On a side note...as a new mac owner I've realized that OSX is pretty much Linux based. Among other things, I've been involved in building custom Linux systems for the past 10 years.
I think I'll try to help out here too as I learn more about OSX internals.

Hi All,
In the last two months, we have observed that due to OS upgrade issues and some java script issues, some of the PSE 8 Mac users were not able to go past "Checking System Profile" check initialization dialog after 80-90% progress and installer welcome screen never launched....we dubug the issue, found a workaround and have created a Tech doc for the same. It took some time because we wanted to make sure that this works in all the cases or not. Here is the link of the Tech Doc, please bookmark the same and help the users who have been running into such issues...
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/825/cpsid_82532.html
Please get back to us, in case there are any queries/concerns related to the tech doc..
Regards,
AnkushHi,
Attached are the logs from \library\logs\Adobe\Installers
I cleared out the logs, ran PSE Setup until it hung then did Force Quit on
Setup and attached the logs.
Thanks for your attention,

Hi,
Can you please send in the log files which can be obtained from the below
location:
\Library\Logs\Adobe\
There must be log files for the PSE 8 installer. Delete them once and then
try to install PSE 8 again, if you are not able to then attach the newly
created log files in the forum.
Thanks & Regards,

IPhone 4 crashes while restoring in DFU?
My phone is in DFU mode.. and I cant restore or do anything now.. It keep crashing and doing the same thing. Exact steps I did:
-Plug it in
-open itunes
-click restore
-it loads about halfway
-then blue screen...
-loading is stuck
-hard reset
-i get itunes error 9
REPEAT
Before this, it was vibrating non-stop so i couldn't even do a hard reset.. Had to wait for it to drain the battery..
Before that.. Sometimes it would crash nonstop while charging until its removed.According to this Apple support document, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 the error 9 has to do with USB issues. I would wonder if you are getting a good download of iOS to do your restore. Issues like you describe sound like there are other issues going on with the iPhone, especially the non-stop vibration. When you restored the iPhone, did you restore from a backup, or as a new phone? I would try as a new phone and see if that helps. How old is the iPhone and is it still in warranty? You might want to have it checked at the Genius Bar.

Mac OSX Lion: PSE9 crashes while closing... every time.
Hi,
Yesterday I've upgraded my PC to the latest OSX (10.7)
What I can say - PSE9 runs notably faster but... every time I am closing it - it crashes.
I have already sent the crash report (using PSE's build-in abnormal close autodetecion)
As for now I did not observed any side effects of this malfunction...

My mac keeps crashing while watching video online
I am new to using a Mac, but it keeps crashing while watching online video (netflicks, espn ect.) while on battery power. Battery
power is sufficient when this happens. I cannot restart until I plug back into power. Any advice would be appreciated.Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk. You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions. No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

Hi, after serious problems (troubleshooting didn't help) with my iMac G5 (PPC) running Mac OS X Leopard I've tried to recover my Mac HD via Time Machine (exactly as described by David Pogue on page 242 of the Leopard Missing Manual). However, "Restore system from backup" in the Utilities Menu of my original Leopard installation DVD failed to show up. What can I do?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated -

Mac os X Panther Installer crashing
I have PowerMac G4 with an unknown processor speed. I had Ubuntu installed on it while I searched for mac os X to put on the thing. It has two eighty gigabyte hard drives in it. One has Ubuntu installed on it and the other has Windows xp, but windows wasn't installed for this particular computer. I put in the Panther install disc 1 and i get the grey apple with the spinner on it. Then i Get the mac os x installer. I get to the language selection and then the system locks up and won't let me click the Continue button or select a Language. I have searched the internet high and low but can't find any answers. Anybody know whats wrong?
Hi AspireFly,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion forums!
10.3.x Full Retail Install disks should look like this:

If you are indeed using full retail install disks, how are the drives formatted for the install of Mac OS X? You may also want to check to make sure the firmware was properly upgraded for the install of OSX if needed.

That could be the problem. If you actually mean DWCS6 and not DWCC 2014.1.1 when you say "latest" (check out Help > About Dreamweaver for your actual version) it requires the older Java SE 6 to be installed on the Mac. See if reinstalling it helps...
Java for OS X 2014-001
If you're using DWCC 2014 and updated your OS after having DW installed, you may need to reinstall to work out the kinks. Using the Cleaner Tool from Adobe to reinstall will give you a completely fresh installation...

My photoshop CS4 keeps crashing while I am in the middle of editing a photo. I am running Mac OS X 10.9.4. I have tried to contact support and I was directed here.
You were redirected to this user forum because CS4 is no longer supported by Adobe at all.
We'll need a lot more info before we can help.
You'll have to manually determine whether Photoshop CS4 is updated to version 11.0.2 (the Adobe auto updater is most unreliable in CS4), and give us plenty of other information.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.
Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:
