No OS X system backups were found?

Hi there,
I recently did the Mountain Lion -> Mavericks upgrade. Too late I discovered that sync between Outlook 2011 and Mail etc had been removed from Mavericks. That's a whole other story.
So I decided that I'd revert back to Mountain Lion from a Time Machine backup so I followed the instructions 'Command R' at startup and followed the bouncing ball only to get the message back "No OS X system backups were found".
From research it appears that this was a bug first disocvered in Mountain Lion.
I've been on Mavericks for over a week now and Time Machine backups appear fine in the 'Star Wars' view and a file level recovery works just fine.
So this morning I decided to see if system backups had corrected itself by restarting and doing Command R etc - nup, same message.
Anyone else experienced this and found a simple way of resolving the problem? I'm no longer going to revert to Mountain Lion but I would like the piece of mind that I actually have a full backup!
Cheers,
Jappas

This simple procedure will clear your Time Machine settings, including exclusions. The backups won't be affected. If you have a long exclusion list that can't be recreated easily, you may prefer a more complicated procedure that preserves the exclusion list. In that case, ask for instructions. Otherwise, do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file selected. Copy the file to the Desktop. Then move it (the original, not the copy) to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot and recreate your settings in the Time Machine preference pane. It will show that you have no backups. Don't worry; your backups haven't been touched. Run a backup to test. The backup may take much longer than usual. If TM now performs as expected, delete the file you copied to the Desktop.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

T400 "no packages applicable to your system were found"

I've have an issue with a few T400 machines that dont get any drivers listed in Thininstaller. I thought this was maybe a thininstaller/repository issue so installed system update and let it go to the internet. This came back witht he same error
"no packages applicable to your system were found"
Thininstaller works for other models except this one.
any ideas how i can resolve this please?
The model details are :
Model number: 6474-CTO
Product ID: 6474W9L
Thanks - Joe.
Are there any log files I can reference?

I got a feeling its down tho the proxy server in this company. I did a test on a machine on the internet connection and it was fine. Is there any special requirements for getting through a firewall ? Any specific ports need open ?
Thanks
Joe.
p.s. I have update retriever installed on Server 2008 64bit. I assume its supported on that.

No packages applicable to your system were found after service?

Hello
I got my system back from Lenovo a week ago after getting some service done. As far as I know the motherboard was not replaced but I cannot get any system updates. I did a restore to the factory default system and I cannot get any updates for a week now, only the message: No packages applicable to your system were found. In the recovery menu my system is listed as INVACTO and the serial number is blank. The bottom of my system lists product ID 2746CTO. I do not remember if the serial number was blank before I sent it in but it is now. ThinkVantage toolbox also lists product: INVACTO, serial: blank, and warranty: Could not be determined. Could my serial number had been erased and my system model changed while it was at Lenovo? Could this be the reason I'm getting no updates?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
open registry and Check the following registry keys (or similar)
HKLM\HARDWARE\ACPI\DSDT\LENOVO\
HKLM\HARDWARE\ACPI\FADT\LENOVO\
HKLM\HARDWARE\ACPI\RSDT\LENOVO\
They should be in the form of your model number without the hyphen and not TP-xx___
it worked with my R61 8919Y16
Also check following registry too:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\System Update\Preferences\UCSettings\RunTime
whether the key called "MTM" contains your full MTM number.
Let me know, how does the registry looks by you.
You can also check following tests, that will show you the MTM, that is detected by System Update:
Go to :
%ProgramFiles%\Lenovo\System Update\egather\
- start the "IA.exe" and a new .xml file will be created. The name of this file will contain the MTM of your system, that is detected.
Cheers

Seagate external drive: Partition map check failed because no slices were found

I have a 3TB Seagate Expansion external backup drive connected to my Retina Macbook Pro via USB. The disk will not eject from a regular Finder window - it will only eject from Disk Utility. Backups seem to otherwise be running fine. I tried to verify/repair the disk in Disk Utility, and I got the following error: "Partition map check failed because no slices were found." I am able to verify/repair the partition without any problem, and no errors are found.
I'm concerned about relying on a backup drive that may be heading south. Here is the output from diskutil info:

Time Machine will not complete a system backup and terminates with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume. This follows a problem when Time machne terminated when the volume was almost full.

On 11/1/2011, Time Machine (TM) terminated with an error message I did not record. I noted that the drive was full and decided to do a separate complete bootable system backup using Carbon Copy Clone (CCC), before clearing the TM volume and trying to start it over clean. Part way through the full system backup CCC put up a message that there was a Physical Problem "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16". That was about the time that TM malfunctioned, so I assumed they were related. After starting CCC over a couple of times, and getting the same error message, I let it go through to completion of the backup, which took three or four hours. I then ran tests using Disk Utility and verified that there was nothing physically wrong with both the internal hard drive and the TM volume. I also erased and reformatted the TM volume. However, every time I started Time Machine, it would record a few GB and terminate with "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume". I restarted the computer with no change in results. Note that prior to starting the CCC backup, I "Repaired Permissions", "zapped the PRAM" and "re-set the SMC", hoping to have a clean bootable system on the backup. I ran Techtool and no problems were found.
I'm running this on an Intel iMac under 10.5.8 and recording to a 500GB My Passport drive. My hard drive is only about half full at 246 GB. My assessment is that something happened at 16-28-16 on 11/1/2001 to screwup the Backup Directory in the file at "Library/Application Support/Techtool Protection/McIntosh HD/Directory Backup 2011-11-01-16-28-16". My question is, how do I fix it?
I had just completed writing everything above here, explaining the problems I had been encountering for the past 24 hours. I had the Time Machine window standing open on the desktop where I could see it, having recentlycleared it after the last termination. As I was proofing what I had written, I looked at the window and noted that the clock had started a new run for a full back up, since all prior efforts had failed and the TM volume was empty. As I watched and waited for it to fail again, as it had been doing at about 13 GB, it kept going and going until it just finished a complete backup, about 4.5 hours later, with my having done nothing. Now my question would have to be - what could possiibly have happened to make it perform this way? It will be interesting to see if it continue to operate normally, or if the problem will return, in a later backup run.

You should not keep those files for long, and probably shouldn't back them up (if you need them at all -- since you do regular backups, I'm doubtful just how worthwhile that feature is).
"Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume".
One of Apple's maddeningly incomplete messages. Most likely, there's a problem with a file (quite possibly the one CCC didn't like). See #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details and instructions on finding and fixing it.
If you continue running the Directory Protection app, be sure to exclude your Time Machine drive from it (as it will just take up lots of room, and won't help repair your backups if there's a problem); and exclude the folders it creates from being backed-up by Time Machine (as they'll create large backups, and you probably can't use the backed-up folders anyway), per #10 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

User tables belonging to the dbo schema were found in the database...

Hi
I´m running SAP on windows server 2003 R2 x64 sql 2005.
I have installed a sandbox system based on NW 7.01 SR1 ECC 6.0. It´s only abap.
After that I wanted to make a system copy of our production system to the the sandbox. So my sql colleague took a full backup of the production database and restored it into the sandbox.
Now I´m trying to run the system copy installation sapinst - SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 Ready (Support Release 1) - Sotware life Cycle Options - System Copy - MS SQL Server - Target System Installation - Central System - Based on AS ABAP - Central System...
I choose custom and say it´s a Homogeneus System Copy (MS SQL Servver-specific)
After that I choose "Use existing database" but the it say:
*User tables belonging to the dbo schema were found in the database ES0. SOLUTION: You can only install an SAP system in a database with no user objects belonging to the system schema dbo. If there already is an SAP system in the database (MCOD), or you install a Java Add-In, you might have to convert the existing system to its own schema, or contact your SAP support.*
I have searched the forums and can´t find anything I can use. I found someone wrote that I should change the control.xml file under sapinst directory:
Proceed as follows:
1. Stop SAPinst.
2. Open the file control.xml in the sapinst log directory and look for the following lines:
AllowNew: mig ? ?false? : ?true?,
AllowDboObjects: mig ? ?true? : ?false?,
3. Change these lines to
AllowNew: ins ? ?true? : ?false?,
AllowDboObjects: ins ? ?false? : ?true?,
4. Save the control.xml, restart SAPinst and choose ?Continue old installation?.
but it is not helping.
Please advise me.
If this is the wrong forum please tell which one is correct.
Best regards
Thomas

After upgrading to Yosemite, I've lost all my NOTES. They were found on iCloud but now are gone from there. How can I find them?

I keep many lists and things in the NOTES I share with my iPad and iPhone however, since I upgraded to Yosemite, I continue to "lose" them. I contacted someone who spent quite a bit of time to relocate them. Supposedly they were stored in iCloud and they were. Then a few days later they disappeared. They were found again but also disappeared soon after that. It's frustrating because I had about 14 different lists backed up (I thought) but I'm down to 1. The interesting thing is that when I first turn on NOTES on a device, all NOTES show up then immediately disappear again. I would like to 1. find them again and 2. understand what I need to do to keep them there!

Before you try any of the steps below please make a backup copy of your file(s) as explained in steps #1 - #5 below. Be sure you always make a backup copy of any system files before you make any changes.
I've found a few posts on Apple support community which you should try to follow and see if they help resolve your issue:
Notes deleted after Yosemite installation ?
Re: Upon upgrading to Mountain Lion, only "notes" that were on iCloud got transferred into the new "Notes" app
Unfortunately none of the solutions worked for me, If none of these work for you don't worry I've got something else for you to try!
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT use iCloud, Time Machine, or any other email, program, or account to backup my Notes. If you have any of those options enabled or available I can not promise this will work for you. I upgraded from Maverick to Yosemite and immediately had this problem with my missing notes
I was able to do the following to manually find and copy/paste my notes back into the Notes app:
From your Mac Desktop click "Go" on the top menu bar
From the "Go" drop down menu, select "Go to Folder..."
In the window that appears enter the below file path; make sure to replace "USERNAME" with your Mac user account name: //Users/USERNAME/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes
Find the file named "NotesV3.storedata"
Copy this file and save it into another folder (on your desktop works fine)
Rename this file to "NotesV3.storedata.html" (if prompted, allow or accept the change to HTML)
Double click the file and it should open in your default internet browser.
Look through the text carefully, among the 'junk' text you should start to see the text from your lost notes.
Copy whatever text you want to safe from this file and paste the text into Notes app on your Mac
It is tedious but it is the only way I could restore my notes, hopefully it helps you too! - Please leave feedback in this thread about what worked for you.
I did call apple, reported this issue, and I'm expecting a call in 1.5 weeks from a senior tech about what engineering has found.

Problem following full system backup recovery from TM

Hi All,
In addition to other Mac computers I also own an iMac G5. The original hard drive that came with the machine was starting to show signs of "fatigue" so I decided to get a replacement drive.
After putting in the new drive (500gb) I booted my computer using the Leopard install DVD and selected the "restore from time machine backup" under utilities. I went through the process of finding my time capsule->backup->restoring the full thing. I left it going over night so I don't actually know how long it took. Nevertheless, in the morning the process was done. Happily, I restarted my mac and got the grey screen with the apple logo in the middle. The spinning progress circle appeared and started going around. After ~10-15 seconds the screen went black and the mac rebooted itself. The same thing happened over and over and the only way to stop this was to physically turn off the computer.
Here is some additional information for those with a good idea what is going on:
1) If I install a clean Leopard system everything works. The system gets installed and the computer boots normally.
2) After restoring from time capsule (computer continues to reboot itself) I tried doing an "archive and install" from the install DVD. I reasoned that the problem likely lies somewhere within the system booting process so if that is corrupted in one way or the other putting only a new system (and archiving the old one) may allow me to boot the machine and access my user data. Long story, after going through the full recovery process I get an error that the system was installed but that there was some error so the user information could not be used. Regardless, the computer still continuously reboots itself upon startup.
3) I ran Diskwarrior on the recovered time capsule backup. Some very minor errors were found and corrected in personal files that have nothing to do with the boot process (actually, files I have not touched in ages). Directory structure etc. was fine. This did not help however to solve the problem.
4) If I boot my Mac in "safe" or "verbose" mode the screen goes black and I start getting the details of the boot process. (I do not have a copy of the text). Rather quickly it reaches a point where it say something about the HD. It seems to be checking something since the process is "hanging". Afterwards there is a whole quick list of things that the Mac goes through and then follows the dreaded reboot. This goes too fast to actually see what is the last step. (is there a way to slow/freeze the process?)
Is there anyone out there that has an idea on how to solve this issue?
thanks
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.5.5) 1GB RAM

Thanks for your post.
I did forget to mention in my initial post that I did try to recover my time machine backup from older dates. I tried a backup from one week, one month, and two months ago. The problem persists.
I am avoiding the second option you raised (installing a clean system and migrating my data) and keeping that as a last option. The main reason is that in addition to the data I have I would like to avoid having to install all the applications.
If worse comes I'll take that route. Hopefully, a good suggestion will come up.

Windows 7 Installation problem: "no drives were found, click to load driver..."

I just purchased a Toshiba Satellite laptop (U945-S4140) that came with windows 8. I am trying to install windows 7 enterprise 64 bit.
I have the installation file on a bootable USB stick. In order to boot from the USB, I have to go into the BIOS settings and change from UEFI to CSM boot mode. Then the computer will boot from the usb stick and the windows 7 installation begins to work fine.
However, I soon get an error message that "no drives were found. click to load driver to provide a mass storage driver for installation."
I cannot figure out how to proceed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I have tried many solutions....Maybe I should provide more details on my options.
Through my university I am granted the rights & license to use a copy on windows enterprise. From them I obtained a valid product key and also downloaded an ISO install file. It seems as if this file was designed to be burned to a dvd. I used windows 7 usb/dvd tool to burn the ISO file to a DVD. No problem there. However, my new laptop does not have an optical drive. So, I borrowed an external one that plugs in via USB. Again, in order to get ANYTHING to happen, I need to boot the USB(dvd rive) in CSM mode. Even then, it doesn't work. (I'm sorry but I forget the specific error I got here.....there have been so many methods and so many errors today)
Now, with this DVD, I have had a little bit of progress if I click the setup.exe file while Windows 8 is running. It begins the Windows 7 setup program, and even sees the harddrive! It asks me what partition I want to install to, and I selected the only 1 (of 4) that it said was 'available' to write to. Then, it loaded the installation files, but when it went to automatically restart, it froze during the 'starting windows' screen just as the little colored circles appear, that eventually form the windows logo. Again, I think the problem here might have been that during the restart, it looked to the USB-DVD drive, which needs CSM mode to boot properly, but Windows 8 can only start in UEFI mode.
Any attempt to put this ISO file onto a USB stick have not worked well. I used Rufus and the only thing that slightly worked was burning the ISO to the USB stick with a 'GPT partition scheme for UEFI controller' with the 'FAT32' file system. When using this to boot, I did not have to change the BIOS to CSM mode. The screen for 'loading files' came up like the installer was going to work. However, the computer then froze during the 'Starting Windows' screen, however, this time the little circles actually were able to form the windows logo. But, at that point I was left with a pulsing windows logo and it was stuck. It did not even make it to the actual installer.
The situation I posted about originally is slightly different. Some tech guys at my department's electronic shop have a bootable USB stick with the windows 7 enterprise installation software already on it. I used that and was at least able to get a little bit into the windows 7 setup before it told me it cannot find a disk to install to (as in my original post).

I have read some previous post but I didn't really get it how people have solved. I have dismount the other 2 HDD but it doesn't seems to work.
Can someone please help. Is there a way that I can have my windows 7 into my other HDD instead of the Mac OS drives.

You read the PDF Guide? You have to use Advanced Options to format the FAT volume (BOOTCAMP) to NTFS.
And yes, pull other drives.
Personally, I use a separate hard drive for Windows 7 and just pull the others, boot from Windows DVD and install.
I assume your recent MacPro 5,1 is Mid 2010. If you want to use more than 4GB RAM you will want 64-bit, and if you have dual processor 8 or 12-cores, you'd need Windows 7 Pro.
As for where you are now, use Boot CAmp Assistant again to remove the partition on your Mac OS boot drive.
Backup Mac OS to another drive yet? I use SuperDuper or CCC.
You can format the intended drive in Disk Utility.
Use Partition tab, Options and change partition table from GUID to Master Boot Record and format the entire drive as FAT. Or use Boot CAmp Assistant to do so. You'll need to shutdown then, not restart, so you can pull your other drives.

Post with clearing: FB05 No open items were found

Hi,
I am using FB05 (have selected 'transfer posting with clearing) to clear the vendor open items and post to a GL account, but I encounter the message 'No open items were found' (Msg F5 170) eventhough the vendor has open items and morever it is not blocked.
Any reason why this error.
Tks,
SS

There can be any number of reasons why a standard transaction does not pick up open items for your vendor account. Some possible reasons are:
- outside date range, if you are giving a date range
- they might be special g/l transactions, not normal line items
- they migh not be open line items, but noted items
- the items might not be open anymore when FB05 is being run
Do a little more investigation into your system - we can only give suggestions from here.
