Optimizing system performance hangs during Tiger install

When I try to install Tiger on my Powermac G3 B&W it gets to optimizing system performance and hangs there for hours and when I reboot it starts to install off disk 2 and it hangs again at optimizing system performance part of the install. What do I need to do to fix this because I need to get the computer going

*Hi Colton, Welcome back* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
Were you using the puter during Install—that's a no-no.
Follow standard precautions as listed all over the forums:
Quit all apps
Unplug all except KB and Mouse.
Repair Disc via Install Disc. Repair Permissions via HD. (That one receives some debate but it's quick.)
etc.

OS X 10.4.4 DOWNLOAD HANGING AT "Optimizing System Performance" STAGE

I began downloading 10.4.4 update about 1.5 hours ago; most of the download executed fairly quickly--within 10 minutes. But then the download got to the "Optimizing System Performance" stage, and has been hanging in it ever since. It's accompanied by the spinning beach ball.
Is this common, or at least normal?
If not, what should I do? How long should I wait? I don't know if I can even get my iBook to force quit at this stage.
thanks in advance for your help.
T.W.

Timothy,
What you are experiencing is not common or normal, but can hopefully be rectified.
According to iBook: If the Computer Won't Respond you can Force Quit by holding the power button for several seconds.
Restart from the Tiger Installation CD and run the Disk Utility as directed in the Try Disk Utility paragraph of Using Disk Utility and fsck to resolve startup issues or perform disk maintenance.
Next, attempt a normal startup of your computer.
Mac OS X: Troubleshooting installation and software updates says this about optimization failures:
Installation fails during "optimization"
If the installation fails during "optimization," all of the software was installed. There is no risk of an "incomplete installation." The optimization phase of an installation only affects performance and not stability or features. You may force optimization to be repeated by reinstalling the software. If you were using the Software Update pane of System Preferences on the first attempt, you will need to download the standalone installer of the same software from Apple Downloads in order to reinstall the software.;~)

Stuck at Optimizing System Performance after installing Security Patch

24" iMac seems to be stuck at "Optimizing System Performance" after installing the latest Security Update. Software Update won't quit. Nervous to force the computer to shutdown during that process. It's working fine at the moment other than that the Software Update box won't go away.
What do you think?

Well kind of answered my own question. Tried to run Activity Monitor which only started halfway and then crashed. I remembered the whole computer is backed up to an external drive everyday so I figured if it won't start at least I can start up from the external drive.
Forced the shutdown by holding the power button. Started up w/o a hiccup; ran Repair Permissions which checked out and the Verify the Disk with First Aid which also checked out fine.
So I guess it's ok though I may unplug that external for a day or two.

I have a MacBook 7,1 which i recently installed a PNY 250 SSD and added some RAM. The laptop was running awesome with OSX 10.6.8, lightning fast.
Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue when I rebooted. Here is the problem:
Every other time I boot the MacBook it hangs at a grey screen with the prohibitory sign. Verbose reveals a "still waiting for root device" error. Now if I reboot from that hang, it boots fine, but then will hang again the next time. It keeps alternating like this. Any ideas??
I am not running any third party trim software, so that's not the issue.

Hang during software install

I did the latest auto update and my system. Hung during the installation. I turned it off. Now on restart it hangs at spinning ball. Anyone know how to recover

I will give that a try, but the other mac i have the imac aluminium just hangs while installinh through software update and i have tried like 10 times still the same results. My G4 mac just says network error? If anyone has trouble installing safari 3.2 through software update please let me know if you have similar problems, thanks

Pointers for optimizing system performance (run time) while running DP process chain with parallel processing

Hi Experts,
We are running APO DP process chain with parallel processing in our company, we are experiencing some issues regarding run time of process chain, need your help on below points;
- What are the ways we can optimize process chain run time.
- Special points we need to take care of in case of parallel processing profiles used in process chain.
- Any specific sequence to be followed for different processes in process chain - if there is some best practice followed.
- Any notes suggesting ways to improve system performance for APO version 7 with different enhancement packs 1 and 2.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Regards

HI Neelesh,
There are many ways to optimize performance of the process chains (background jobs) in APO system.
Firstly I would recommend you to identify the pain areas (steps) which are completing with more runtimes. Then each one of the step has got different approaches to decrease the runtime.
Like you may end up with steps like infopackage executions, DTPs, DP mass processing jobs etc which might be running with more runtimes. So now target each one of them differently and find out the ways to optimize. At the same time the approach you follow should be technically possible with basis perspective (system load and utilization) as well.
And coming to parallel processing, you can use parallel processing for different for different jobs. You can further r explore on the same using parallel processing. Like loading an infocube, mass processing, infopackage execution, DTP, TSCOPY etc.
Check the below link for more info
Performance problems in DP mass processing
Let me know if you require further info.

Error during Tiger install, disk utility (DVD) says could not unmount disk

OK, I'll start at the beginning. I was running 10.3.9 on my iMac G4. I hooked up a new firewire external HD. Transferred my iTunes music over, everything worked fine. Ran software update to make some updates (iTunes, Quicktime, Security Update, maybe another one) that I had been putting off because I had been out of space. That's when the problems began. It said I could not install updates, so I restarted. Then it hung up at Login Window starting. I did a few hard shutdowns (holding down power button) to try again, but was unsuccessful.
Read all the forums. Decided that I should have repaired permissions, etc. before installing the updates. So I started in single-user mode, ran FSCK, all that stuff, following the instructions very closely. Still kept hanging up at Login Window. So I started up from the Panther install disk, repaired permissions (made a bunch of repairs) and checked hard drive (said no repairs necessary). Restarted, still hung up at Login Window starting.
So I did an archive and install. There were errors near the end of the Panther install, and it said it could not finish. But the computer started up OK, and I was able to back up all my personal data onto the external HD.
So I decided to upgrade to Tiger, thinking that would fix everything. During the upgrade, it said there were errors installing files and to try again. Did so, same result. The computer did start up in Tiger, but clearly was not operating at full capacity (slow, some things didn't work).
So I decided to erase and install. Again, said there were errors and to try again. Did so twice, same result. Started up from the Tiger DVD and ran Disk Utility. When I clicked Repair Hard Drive, it said "could not unmount drive."
So now I am stuck. I have a wiped hard drive. Can't repair it, and can't get Tiger to install properly. Help!
(i do have an Apple store in town, but I haven't gone to the Genius Bar. Wasn't sure how that worked.)
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hmmm. And you're sure that when you select the main
hard drive entry in Disk Utility it shows a SMART
status report that says "Not supported"? That's
really odd because your model isn't too old to have a
drive that doesn't support SMART.
Yep, looking at it right now. I've got the drive that says "38.2 GB ST3408..." selected, and it says "Not Supported."
By any chance would you have another external
Firewire drive on which you could install Tiger? If
you do, then you could try installing Tiger on that
drive. If you can then boot the iMac from the
external drive you could then try cloning the system
from the external drive to the internal drive.
I have the one external HD firewire drive. It has my backed up files on it. Could I still install Tiger on it without erasing those files?
You could do the same thing from another Mac if both
support Firewire. You could boot the iMac into Target Disk Mode while it's connected to
another Mac's Firewire port. You could then clone
from the other Mac to the iMac's hard drive that will
appear on the Desktop of the other Mac.
And I do have another Mac, which I am typing on right now. It's sitting right next to my "sick" iMac. If I recall correctly, it's an iMac DV special edition. It does have a firewire port and I think it has a DVD drive. It's running 9.0 currently.
You can use the Restore option of Disk Utility to do
the cloning. The process is as follows:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the source or startup volume from the left
side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Drag the source or startup volume to the Source
entry field.
5. Select the destination or backup volume from the
leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry
field.
6. Check the box to Erase Destination. Skip this
step if you've already formatted the drive.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the
Restore button.
So should I use the firewire external HD or the old iMac to do this? (Thanks so, so much for all this help, by the way. I really appreciate it. I love my iMac and want to save it! I have to go cook dinner right now, but I'll come back later to check your answer and try your suggestion.)

Can btrfs(2.6.31) file system be used during an install

Hi,
I would like to use btrfs for my root and home partition during an initial installation, but I notice that the btrfs in kernel 2.6.30 (what's on the CD) is old and has had the file system
format changed as of 2.6.31, so is not backward compatible.
Is there any way to install using the latest btrfs from 2.6.31 (or 2.6.32 if it is out ..) .... or am I just too beeding edge on this ..
Cheers,
Bernie

Cool, I am not the only one as it seems
I might be wrong but doesn't btrfs handle file system upgrades? But even then it doesn't seem to be possible to setup the root filesystem for btrfs currently. Because the setup enviroment lacks the proper tools, like mkfs.brtfs.
Maybe stability is an issue here. Some user might get very angry if their data gets lost After all btrfs is still under development.

Slow CS3 / system performance after Snow Leopard install

Since installing 10.6, I've noticed a systemwide slower performance; there's a slight hesitation after everything I do. Even something as simple as changing a filename causes a second or two of hesitation... then it lets me change the name.
This is especially noticeable in CS3 software; painting or editing in Photoshop is very difficult, because there's a second or two of hesitation before things occur. Even clicking menu items takes a second before the item opens.
Anyone else have this? So far, 10.6 (and yes, 10.6.1) have been a definite downgrade to my performance.

I have noticed no hesitation or slowdown, in fact startup and shutdown are noticeably faster, and system wide speed is same or better.
This is only relevant for photoshop, but ...

Optimizing system performance. How to?

So i know that you can use all the programs that come with any mac in the utilites folder to optmize performace. However, I recently downloaded a program called "Mac HelpMate" which is a more user friendly interface which allow one to access all the utilites and do such tasks such as repair disk permissions, clean caches, erase user logs blah blah blah. The problem is it isn't idiot proof and I need some info on what is appropriate to do and what isn't. I guess I am looking for a tutorial on what tasks/chores I should do. I have repaired disk permissions but that is it, just curious what else. I need some clarification on what is what and how to's. Thanx in advance.

Multiple cPCI Graphics cards - System Hangs during Boot

We have 2 Kontron dual output CP332 cPCI graphics cards to install into a NI PXI rack in order to give us 4 graphics outputs.
When one card is installed it acts as the Primary graphics card and it is required to disable to NI on-board graphics card in order for this to boot and function correctley.
If a 2nd Kontron CP322 card is added the system will hang during WinXP boot, as it switches from VGA to SVGA mode.
Disabling the 2nd card via device manager allows the system to boot.
Re-enabling the 2nd card once booted, then configuring with the ATI driver application allows the 4 graphics output to work as expected.
If the system is re-powered it will once again hang during WinXp booting.
Is there anything that can be configured on the NI Embedded PC (BIOS) to prevent this ?
Is there anything in windows that can be set to prevent this ?
Can we control the windows device manager from labview in order to enable/disable the 2nd card after power-on and before shutdown.
many thanks

Hi Scott,
I have some more information for you regarding your issue. We have tested the Kontron CP332 with the PXI-8196.
However when we tested the setup, we had 3 monitors working, the on-board graphics and the dual output from the card.
Until we get the on-board graphics working with a single CP332 I don't think we will get bot CP332's working.
So these are the steps to get on-board graphics working with a single Kontron card the steps come from talking to our PXI Product Support Engineer:
"The first thing you need to make sure is that you are using the
driver for Windows XP, and not the one for Windows 2000. Here's a link
to the driver download page:
http://us.kontron.com/index.php?searchword=cp+332&id=363
Notice that the first two driver downloads look just the same, but if
you hover over them and look at the url, you'll notice that the first
one is for Windows 2000 (w2k), and the second one is for Windows XP
(wxp). So, just make sure you are using the second one. The PSE did
mention that she was initially using the Win 2k driver, and was having
some issues with it hanging and all. Here's the information she sent me
about how she was able to get things working:
"Here is the info. My controller has BIOS version 1.3 but have him try this first before updating the BIOS.
The Kontron Board is the CP 332. I was able to get all three monitors working with the PXI-8196.
Configuration steps:
1) Insert both the controller and the kontron board in the chassis.
Note: When the computer is starting it will give you the Windows boot
up screen on the DVI 1 on the Kontron board and then give you the login
screen on the monitor connected to the 8196 so make sure you still have
a monitor connected to the controller.
2) Cancel the NI installation wizard if it comes up.
3)
Unzip the drivers and run the setup.exe file. Make sure you install
both the ATI display driver and the ATI Control Panel. (Check the zip
name to make sure you have the xp version of the driver)
4) After
restart go to the Display Properties and under the Settings tab you
should have monitors 1 and 2 on Mobility Radeon 9000 (Kontron CP-332)."
If you don't have BIOS version 1.20 or higher, please upgrade to BIOS version 1.30, if you need to upgrade the BIOS please make sure you fully understand the readme file. Then follow the steps above to enable triple output on the graphics cards.
When you have this working please try adding the second Kontron card.

K8N Neo 2 Platinum -- Hanging during boot --RESOLVED--

Heres the problem...
My system will hang during boot at anytime, from bios initalization to full windows boot (No BSOD ever and where the pc hangs in the boot proccess is totally random). And the only way to get past the hang is do a soft reset. I have to restart my system up to 3 times before I get a good boot, but once the pc is up and running, it stay running till I shut it down. (no hangs)
Now if I shut it down after the system has been running for a while, the pc will restart normally without any hangs. The hangs only occur after the pc has been down for a time.
I have reseated all the connectors, the memory (even tried different slots), add-in cards, cpu.
I have a clean install of Windows XP Pro (hard drives have been repartitioned and reformatted as NTFS)
All fans are spinning up fine, all temps are within norm, power supply voltages are within norm.
No phsysical signs of bad caps on the system board.
I ran ran Memtest86 for 18 hours striaght with no errors.
Ran CPU stress test with no problems.
No IRQ,DMA,etc conflicts found.
Windows records no errors during a freeze and I have checked for unwanted services/proccess as well.
I have tried min install to no avail.
Bois is retaining its settings (so bios battery is good)
I do not over clock anything. Bios is set to discover all important setting automaticly. (Bios setting are the same now as they were 6 months ago)
I am down to a possible cold solder joint on the system board?
This problem started to occur about a month ago.
If someone has seen this exact problem and has a resolution, well I would appreciate it if you passed along your knowladge
I am down to my last option of RMAing my system board. No. I have not replaced any components due to the fact I don't have extras lieing around nor can I spend the money just to troubleshoot :(

Ok I won't go into all the details of why I missed this but it turns out the northbridge heatsink fan had stopped spinning and thus the hangs during boot due to overheating (hhmmm, when I step back and look at this the symptoms point right to overheating).
This also expains why after several attempts at booting up, once the pc was up it would run like a champ. The chip would of course overheat and cause random freezes. Now due to the placement of the chip and the design of the heatsink once there was enough airflow over the heatsink the chip would remain cool enough to prevent further freezing of the system.
What helped to facilitate this is that I have a ducted fan system installed in the bottom of my case which directs a substantal amount of fresh air to the pci slots, the chip set and the AGI slot as well.
So what have we learned class?
1. check the obvious
2. do a complete physical inspection of your system
3. KISS -- keep it simple stupid

Manually adjust your ram voltage to 2.65 volts and then manually adjust your ram timings to 3-4-4-8-2T.
If that does not work then do as Richard suggested and strip down to a bar-bone system, this is CPU+fan, 1 stick of ram (try other stick and different slots as one may be bad), graphic card and PS-2 keyboard, if it boots fine without any problems then add one device at a time until you find the problem.
Post back results as there are more things one can try but lets start with the simple stuff and work up.

System Preferences Hangs After a Successful Sync to .Mac

Okay, I think this is going to be a tough one to track down, but I'm hoping you guys can help.
Problem: When I manually sync my data to .Mac using the .Mac area of System Preferences, System Preferences hangs right after the sync process completes.
If I manually start the sync in System Preferences and then quit System Preferences while the sync is in progress, the sync completes with no ill effects (i.e., because System Preferences is no longer running, it can't hang when the .Mac sync completes).
Things I've done to address the problem:
(1) Trashed com.apple.PreferenceSync.plist (restart system and try recreating the problem ... no change).
(2) Trashed the contents of ~/Library/FileSync/ (restart system and try recreating the problem ... no change).
(3) Unregister my computer from .Mac, delete old sync data, and re-register my computer with .Mac (as I said, the .Mac sync completes, so this was just a shot in the dark ... restart system and try recreating the problem ... no change).
The system.log records the following when System Preferences hangs:
Jun 7 00:07:31 Joel-McIntoshs-Computer System Preferences[401]: exception while performing selector syncPlanWithIdentifier: on server: NSPortTimeoutException connection timeout: did not receive reply
Jun 7 00:07:31 Joel-McIntoshs-Computer SystemUIServer[107]: exception while performing selector syncPlanWithIdentifier: on server: NSPortTimeoutException connection timeout: did not receive reply

Jun 7 00:07:31 Joel-McIntoshs-Computer System Preferences[401]: * Break on _NSLockError() to debug.

Thanks for the help. I think I've tracked down the problem.
I created a test user and the sync and system preferences worked fine.
I started trouble shooting by going back to the main account, and testing item by item various third-party "items" that were present in the main account, but that were absent in the test user account. I removed most third party "stuff" and started adding it back in one at a time and testing sync with each addition.
I finally recreated the System Preferences hang after I installed TextExpander -AND- had .Mac sync checked in the TextExpander preferences (it didn't hang if that box was not checked in TextExpander). Unchecked, no hang ... checked hang.
I've contacted the developer for assistance.

Basis Guy,
I followed your instructions, and the problem still exist. Per note 908911, I added "SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION" role to the SAPJSF user in the backend ABAP system. I've tried starting and stopping
the System through SAP MMC, and I see the following (solman is our hostname):
solman 0 - The AS ABAP work processes start sucessfully, the AS Java processes, show three processes, with two in the stopped state:
1) SDM - state is stopped
2) Dispatcher - state is running
3) server0 - state is stopped, with a return code of -11113
solman 1 - shows 2 processes
1) Msg Server - running
2) Enqueue Server - running
From SAP MMC, I look at the Developer trace for the 2 stopped processes (SDM and server0). This brings up the dev_server0 log, and the dev_sdm log. In both files, I see the following error:
[Thr 3712] JStartupICheckFrameworkPackage: can't find framework package C:\usr\sap\MES\DVEBMGS00\exe\jvmx.jar
When I look for this file, it does not exist. Is this my problem, and where does this file come from during the install?
From the Syslog of SAP MMC, I see three errors when starting the system, in this order:
Process Type: DP Message ID: GZZ
SAP-Basis System: > 1 possible network problems detected - check tracefile and adjus
Process Type: RD Message ID: Q01
SAP-Basis System: Operating system call           recv failed (error no. 10054)
Process Type: D0 Message ID: R49 User: SAPJSF Client: 001
SAP-Basis System: Communication error, CPIC return code 020, SAP return code 223
Also, I see the following error in the defaulTtrace.0.trc file:
#com.sap.security.core.server.secstorefs.FileIOException: I/O error on file "
solman
sapmnt
MES
SYS
global
security
data
SecStore.properties".
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
solman
sapmnt
MES
SYS
global
security
data
SecStore.properties (The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open)
However, I see that this file does exist, but what does it mean "a user-mapped section is open"?
As for the configtool, Global Server Configuration, when I look for all instances of J2EE_GUEST or SAPJSF, only two parameters show up:
ume.login.guest_user.uniqueids = J2EE_GUEST
ume.r3.connection.master.user = SAPJSF
Looking in the ABAP System (via SU01), I see that J2EE_GUEST shows password deactivated. Is this correct?
Please advise.
Rick
Sunny,
Not sure what you mean by update the latest logs from sapinst.log.   I've displayed the sapinst.log in the original post. I may just be misunderstanding your request.
Let me know if there is more info that you need.

Host hangs during bootup after installing Hyper-V Role

My hyperv test box is a Dell Optiplex 980, i7, 8GB RAM.
Due to small data partitions I had to rearrange the partitions on the disk.
Before this the layout was like this:
#1 primary WS2008R2SP1
#2 primary WS2012 RTM Build9200
#3 primary ext3, boot partition
#4 extended
#N logical WS2012R2 RTM Build9600, booted from #1
#N logical WIN data partition with VM images
System was booting from #3 into grub, which did chainload into #1, #2 and several logical paritions.
Now the layout is like this:
#1 primary ext2
#2 primary ntfs, boot parition
#3 primary linux-swap
#4 extended
#5 logical WS2008R2SP2
#6 logical WS2012 RTM Build9200
#7 logical WS2012R2 RTM Build9600
#8 logical WSBeta1, empty
#9 logical WSBeta2, empty
#10 logical WIN data , now large enough, still empty
#N logical several ext3 partitions
First I installed WS2008R2, installed role Hyper-V, applied all updates. Everything looks fine there.
Then I installed WS2012, system came up fine. Then the trouble started: first installed role Hyper-V, after several reboots during role installation the box is hanging with busy HDD LED. Not sure if there is actually disk activity. It booted up to the turquoise
squares which are initially shown. But those white spinning points are not shown. After one hour I did a hard reset, installed WS2012 again and applied all available updates before attempting to install the role Hyper-V. But unfortunately same result.
Then I figured this bug might be fixed with WS2012R2. So same procedure, install WS2012R2, apply all available updates, system comes up fine. Install role Hyper-V, several automatic reboots during role installation. Result: same hang with busy HDD LED.
I'm not familier with the Windows boot details.
So my question is: What debug data can I provide so that someone familiar with the boot sequence of a Windows host can see how far it got? Are there any logfiles written, and hopefully flushed to disk, to see how far in booting it got? I remember in the
startup properties there are knobs for serial ports. I will enabled them from the WS2008 partition, maybe some useful progress log is written to the serial port.
Over night I will let it run, maybe WS2012R2 recovers after a few hours.
Thanks for any help with tracking this windows bug down.
Olaf
