No volumes found

ok, whenever i try to install something, it all goes fine until i come up to the point where it asks which volume to install said thingy onto. then, it gives me no options. joy. i have enough space on my computer, and i have the right system requirements..
anyone care to enlighten me? :P

well, i have updated my iTunes before, so i'm guessing that my boot volume DOES have iTunes. i have tried creaing a new user admin to install something, anything, and none of it works. yet another problem: whenever i run Software Update, it gives me the screen and starts searching, gets 1/6 of the way there on the bar, and never moves again. i left it on overnight with hope of success, but nothing happened.
i have a mac mini, if that helps..

No volumes found in backup

I have a 27inch iMac running Mavericks and a recent Time Capsule to provide backup using Time Machine. My hard disk failed and has been replaced by Apple Store but when I come to restore my data from back up, I get the message 'No Volumes found in backup'. I knoe the Time Capsule is holding 400Gb of data so what does it mean....and can I get my data back?
Regards
Richard

When you restarted the Mac with the hard drive that had been replaced, Setup Assistant should have appeared first, asking if you wanted to transfer files from another Mac or a Time Machine backup to the "new" Mac.
If Setup Assistant did not appear, or it appeared and you bypassed it, I would suggest that you return the Mac to the Apple Store so that they can reinstall the operating system again on the Mac.
As long as you are doing that, take the Time Capsule to the Apple Store as well and ask them to set up your Mac using the Time Machine backup.
For more information about Setup Assistant, see Pondini's excellent support materials on this subject:

The same information would apply to the Mavericks operating system.

If you had two different computers running time machine backups to the TC both should create sparsebundles which stay separate.
Even if you migrated files from the iMac backup to the MBP it should not then take over the iMac backup.
But check from the MBP.. mount the hard disk of the TC in the MBP and see if there are two sparsebundles or now only one.
Check the disk capacity against what you have show on the TM in the two computers.. do they match up.
Mavericks must have some serious issues as it is happening rather too often.
I strongly recommend to people who read this.. do not upgrade to Mavericks until you create a disk image of the current computer using another software like superduper or CCC.. TM does not cut it.

HT3728 trying to re set my Mac with everything from my time capsule. Seeing message "no volumes found in backup" . now what should I do? ??

Message says No volumes found in backup. What are "volumes"? What to do? ??

I did not figure it out. Took my computer and time machine to the Apple store, they agreed that it would be hard for me to restore on my own (I'd lost contacts). Can't remember all the details, and I still don't know where several addresses have gone (maybe I de-duped in too much haste). I'm glad I leave near a store/Genius bar - don't know what I'd do otherwise.

Flashing question mark, trying to reinstall Tiger but no volume found to install it too.

I was installing updates to this mid 2004 iBook I bought and upon restart I just got tr flashing question mark folder. I tired booting from the OS disc to install, but it tells me there is no volume to install the software too. WTh? It was just working fine 20 minutes ago. It sounds like the HHD engaged but the computer isnt seeing it. Is the hard drive gone or what?

Hello, it sounds like the hard drive has gone to me, the question mark icon you described would be Mac OS X not finding a volume to boot from. It does suggest a replacement hard drive is required, however I have G4 14" iBook that has a problem with a chip on the logic board. A common problem now with old used iBooks. The chip solder becomes departed from the board and eventually effects the iBook's ability to read the hard drive. I am not suggesting this is your fault here, but it's worth being aware of. I personally would replace the hard drive fist and with all luck it will resolve your problem.
Good Luck

No Hard Drive Or Volume Icon In Powerbook G4 Firewire (aluminium) Disk Utilities: Reads Error: No Valid Packages (-9997)

Whilst performing a zero/erase install on my Powerbook G4 Firewire (aluminium) with an OSX Tiger install disk (Tiger was the OSX i had erased), I had to force quite the installer as it appeared to be stuck on the Chinese script install section. I crashed the Powerbook down using the power button method. Now, when i power up the computer, it stays on the grey screen and just beeps at me. If i insert the install disks (both OSX Tiger or the original Powerbook Panther ones) there is no volume found during the install process. In disk utilities no hard drive icon or volumes appear in the left hand list, just 2 headings regarding the OSX install disk. I have clicked 'Verify Disk Permissions' on these headings and receive this message in the action box: Error: No Valid Packages (-9997). All other options in disk utilities are not available to use (partitions section etc), as there is no hard drive recognized to perform anything on. I presume my erase install has wiped out my previous OSX Tiger without installing some essential on the Powerbook (receipts perhaps?). My Powerbook was working 100% before this install attempt. It's a very lightly used machine with no noises/whirrs coming from the hard drive that would suggest failure of some kind. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks for your advice old comm guy.
I have run the Hardware Test as supplied with the Powerbooks install disks and everything has passed. I presume i can put my mind at rest about it being a problem in any of those departments. I have been browsing for a couple of weeks now and think my problem could be a loss in receipts/permissions somewhere. I remember looking for a lost file awhile back using a hard drive search programme through Terminal. It filled my hard drive almost to the maximum with unwanted retrieved files, it took me hours to erase all this again (never found the document i was looking for either). Perhaps a receipt was erased/trashed at this time?. Sometime later (prob weeks) i performed a fresh OSX install to give me an uncluttered faster running machine (I do this once a year). I zero erased the hard drive (including free space) and it was during this install that i had to force quit. It seemed to be stuck loading the Chinese Script so i had no option. After this the problem as described above has been persistent. Is there a way to restore receipts/permissions through Terminal or something like that?. Or maybe a procedure that one has to do when installing a new hard drive?. A step by step guide from someone would be a real help as i am not really confident using these advanced procedures.

Migration assistant finds no volumes in time capsule backup

I hadn't updated my mac mini for ages and it started to run slower and slower. Before upgrading to Mavericks (from 10.6.8) I checked that Time Machine (backing up to a Time Capsule) had backed up recently (it had with no error messages), unfortunately the install failed (disk error) and I had to take it into the Genius bar. They wiped the machine and set it up for me to finish the install (via migration assistant) at home. Unfortunately once home and when selecting the option to migrate from a time machine backup it finds the Time Capsule but then displays the message "no volumes found in backup". Any ideas? Can I just skip migration assistant, set up a new account (with a different name to those in back-up) and then manually go into Time Machine to restore??

Yes.
Most likely, some folders were excluded from the backups as the result of a failed or aborted software installation.
Starting from a clean installation of OS X, set up a new administrator account and log in. Enter Time Machine and press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible.* Select the one you want and navigate to your home folder (in the Users folder at the top level of the old startup volume.)
You should now be able to restore your user data. I suggest you do this in two stages. Quit all applications except the Finder before you begin.
Restore all the visible items at the top level of the home folder.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Enter Time Machine and restore all items in the Library folder. Log out and log back in as soon as the restore is complete.
Any other invisible folders or files at the top level of the home folder that you want to preserve will have to be restored separately. For most users, that isn't necessary.
You'll have to reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, or restore them from another kind of backup, if you have one.
You'll have another problem if this is a new computer, or if you erased the startup volume: The next time you back up, Time Machine won't recognize any files as being the same as they were before, and will make a full copy of all files. There might not be enough space on one or more of the backup volumes for that. There are different ways of dealing with that situation, depending on your needs. The easiest way is to set the backup drives aside, if possible, until you're sure you'll no longer need the data on them, then erase them and start over. Meanwhile start a new backup on one or more empty storage devices. If that solution isn't workable for you, ask for instructions.
*If you don't see any snapshots in Time Machine, exit the time-travel view and then hold down the option key while selecting
          Browse Other Backup Disks...
from the Time Machine menu, which has an icon that looks like a clock running backwards. Select the backups of the computer by its previous name. If you don't have the Time Machine menu, open the Time Machine preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked
          Show Time Machine in menu bar

Can not restore from a backup in Time Capture

I reinstalled my computer because some reason. The automatic time machine was always run on this Mac, and I am sure it did a backup just ten minuets before I started to install. However, I found that I am not able to restore from backup. I can see the computer name but there is a short phase "No Volumes found in this Backup".
I also tried to open the backup file by Finder from anther Mac, but I failed with a notice "Some resource not available".
How could I do to save my data and files???

HELP! Stuck in a Loop after Erase & Install Tiger 10.4

Here's what happened:
My old G4 PPC PowerMac suddenly started running everything (including on startup) very slowly. A weird sound was coming from the HD? (not sure) but it sounded like it was constantly doing something. The sound was a regular: chik, chik, chik...glikglik.
*Did a Verify for Disk Permissions & HD Volume, found a load of problems & tried to fix from my Tiger CD/DVD Install disc on startup.
*No luck...as there was an "Incorrect number of thread records" & Volume could not be fixed.
*Backedup everything onto external HD
*Did Erase & Install Tiger 10.4
*Everything seemed fine (the weird sound stopped) so I started installing all standard Updates- Java etc & my iTunes music.
*Weird sound returned but not as constant, so I did a Verify & fixed Disk Permissions and HD Volume from my Tiger CD/DVD Install disc on startup again. Successful this time. Volume was fine.
*Used Onyx to do verify Volume. Volume fine.
[Bare with me;)]
*Started to import all my backup files. The weird sound returned with a vengence! Argh! Everything slowed down even worst than before.
*Decided to Erase & Install again. Done, but now I'm stuck in the Welcome to Tiger loop: Welcome Tiger animation which crashes halfway through, then takes me to settings for language, location, Mac sign in...loops back again to Welcome.
I am a complete dummy when it comes to computers, so have tried to follow instructions/advice to the T. I don't have a clue what is going on. Please anyone out there, help!

Best to ask about hardware questions on the appropriate hardware forum. That said...
Unless for some reason you want to keep hold of an old computer for specific features not present in a newer computer it is almost always cheaper to buy a newer used computer rather than upgrade hardware in an old one. Since you're talking upgrading multiple features that is almost certain.
A consideration: Snow Leopard is now out. This is pushing pre-Intel Macs towards into obsolescence. I already see a number of software vendors who say they do not support Tiger any more. Some may soon start saying they no longer support pre-Intel Macs. Although I find my G4 and Tiger to still be perfectly usable, if my G4 were to die today and I was interested in a used computer I might seriously look at a used Intel Mac. There's a bit of a jump at the PPC + Tiger to Intel + Leopard-plus boundary and it will become more noticeable soon. If you can afford it I would suggest not being more than one big generation behind in terms of software and hardware, and in this case maybe not even one major generation in terms of hardware. To summarize, if it were me I would be looking for a used early Intel Mac running Leopard currently so I could ensure there still being support for the next few years.

Backing up to external HD- Will I be able to access my stuff?

I have an iMac that is bursting at the seams with a huge iPhoto library and huge iTunes library. I absolutely have to clear some stuff out since I have only 6 GB free on my HD. I want to be totally positive that I have easily accessible backups of my photos and iTunes library so that I can delete them from this computer (at least the bulk of them, which I do not use often but definitely do not want to lose). I did full backups to 2 external HDs, and I hooked up the external HD to my macbook (which hardly has any photos or iTunes library) to see if I could access the backed up libraries from a different computer, to be sure it had worked before I deleted tons of files. Anyway, I clicked on the external volume, found my iphoto library from the iMac, clicked on it, and of course it opened iPhoto on the macbook and showed only the library of the macbook, not what should be on the backup volume. Is this a permissions issue? How can I backup my iMac's huge iPhoto library onto an external HD and then bring it up on another mac to be sure it backed up correctly? Same for iTunes library? I noticed that for everything I'm trying to back up, under Sharing and Permissions my username can read & write but "everyone" has no access.
I'd love any suggestions on how to back up and keep my libraries so I can clear out my iMac, but still be able to easily access those libraries whenever I'd like to from the backup.
Thanks!

Hi Lore4444;
What I did on my computer was to move my complete music and photo libraries to an external disk. Once I had done that I then change the preferences for iTunes and iPhoto to see the libraries on the external disk. After testing to be sure that my music and photos were being seen correctly, I deleted the originals.

Data Recovery on External Drives

I have an external LaCie 200GB FireWire 400 drive, the F.A. Porsche one. While unmounting it before a trip I was in a hurry and unplugged the FireWire cable too soon and it came up with the customary message informing me as such. I paid it no mind as I was in a hurry and I'd done it once or twice before on accident and had suffered no wrath.
Anyway when I got home this evening I went to plug it in and found the drive unresponsive. I got a message saying I couldn't mount the volume but could initialise it in Disk Utility, so I did. The drive was showing but the volume with my data was gone, or rather it was showing up as "disk1s3" instead of "Rei" as it is named.
I tried the following steps to recover my data:
1. Disk Utility: I tried to repair the volume. I received an error saying it could not be done.
2. TechTool Pro: I did the drive test and it came back as having passed.
3. TechTool Pro: I tested the volume, found that the index was corrupted. Made sense.
4. DiskWarrior: I tried to recover it with DiskWarrior. During the recovering process the program became unresponsive and I got the beach ball of doom. After pressing AppleAltEsc I found the program was not responding and highlighted in red. I force-quit the application. I tried again and it proceeded to do the exact same thing. This time I noticed a message stating something along the lines of performance being slowed due to a drive malfunction. I was, once again, forced to force-quit the program.
5. DataRescue II: I attempted to use DataRescue II to see if I could at least view the files and transfer them off the drive and back them up to DVD so I could format the drive and reload all my data. Though it is visible to Disk Utility, DiskWarrior and TechTool Pro it is not, however, visible to DataRescue II.
6. TechTool Pro: I am now having TT P attempt to recover the data. I'm planning on letting it run into the night and hope in the morning it will be fine.
If anyone has any more recommendations on what I can do let me know. I can afford to buy another external to transfer all of my data onto that if I can access it long enough to pull it all off, but I need a program that can at least see the files to grab them.

Hi, Doug.
By not ejecting the drive before disconnecting it, the partition map was corrupted. Short of professional data recovery, you've covered everything and then some in my "Data Recovery" FAQ. If DR-II and TTP can't recover the data, then you're left with professional data recovery, per my FAQ.
I presume you don't have backups of the contents on the LaCie. After you recover from this incident, I suggest you implement a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution addressing all of your drives. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ.
Good luck!

How do I install the Leopard OS from a clone backup?

I just bought a WD 160GB My Passport Essential (USB) external hard drive.
My goal is to partition the external hard drive so it holds the following:
1. clone of the Leopard OS disks
2. Leopard OS installed from the clone
3. Time Machine backups
I formatted the external hard drive to a HFS extended (journaled) format and created 3 partitions, each as a GUID disk.
My Macbook is intel based and came with 2 Leopard OS install disks (Macbook OS X Install Disk 1 and Macbook OS X Install Disk 2).
I was able to create a clone of the 2 install disks and restored both images onto the external hard drive partition I named "Leopard OS Disk Clone."
I rebooted my back so it boot from the "Leopard OS Disk Clone" partition located on my external hard drive, to test the clone out. I clicked on the "Install Mac OS and Bundled Software" file on the "Leopard OS Disk Clone" partition and started to install the OS on the "Leopard OS" partition on the external hard drive.
During the installation a message appeared instructing me to put the Mac OS Install Disk 2 into the mac.
My problem is Install Disk 2 is on the "Leopard OS Disk Clone" partition and there is no way to tell the installer program the location of disk 2.
How do I install the Leopard OS on my external hard drive partition if both Install Disk 1 and Install Disk 2 are on my "Leopard OS Disk Clone" partition?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm no expert, but I don't think you can do that.
Everything I've done (not a whole lot) and read here says you make a bootable clone from a running system (usually your internal HD).
You can then boot directly from the clone, either by changing the Startup Disk in System Preferences, or by holding a particular key (I forget which one just now) while powering-up, to get the option of booting from any connected bootable volume found.
Hopefully one of the experts will confirm or deny (I'd like to know for sure, too!).

How to repair a TimeMachine Backup file

I'm trying to use Migration Assistant to copy data and user info to a new MacBook Pro (10.9.4). I created a fresh Time Machine backup file of the source iMac on a USB drive connected to my Airport Extreme. Unfortunately, MA says 'No Volumes Found' in the Time Machine backup file when I try to move the data to the new MacBook Pro.
So now, I'm trying to attach the Time Machine backup file to attempt to manually repair with the fsck_hfs. I've mounted the backup hard drive to my Mac - the drive is called 'Apple Network HD'. The Time Machine back file is called 'Upstairs iMac'. The Info detail for the file is shown below.
I type the following in Terminal root:
hdiutil attach -nomount -noverify -noautofsck /Volumes/Apple-Network-HD/Upstairs-iMac.sparsebundle
The following is returned:
hdiutil: attach failed - No such file or directory
I am new to terminal commands but I can not figure out why I am unable to point hdiutil to the correct file. Any help would be appreciated? Thanks.
