Ox8002006E error on disk burning - cured by Snow Leopard?

I fell foul of this horror earlier, and noticed that it has been troublesome for quite a few people.
Does anyone know whether it has been resolved or helped in any way by Snow Leopard?
I haven't yet upgraded, but if this is improved by Snow Leopard I'll do it sooner rather than later.
Thanx for your help

'spirochete' was right; at least it worked for me. Apparently there are some invisible files put on the external drive (besides the .dmg file) when a backup is made from Disk Utility. (It would be nice if Apple put this important fact in their support document for restoring from backup.) I had the exact same problem as the original poster. I was prompted to scan the .dmg file in order to restore it, so I went to Images/Scan for Restore, only to get the error message 'Unable to scan (invalid argument).
But when I dragged the external hard drive's icon into the 'Source' field and clicked 'Restore', it worked! (In my case, my external hard drive was a Western Digital 'My Book'. In the left column of Disk Utility, it showed up as '1 TB WD' for the root, and then had an icon labeled 'My Book' under it. It was the 'My Book' icon that I dragged into the Source field. The '1 TB WD' would not drag over.)

Lacie burner compatibility with Snow Leopard

I have been corresponding with Lacie concerning the inability with Snow Leopard to use the Lightscribe software anymore. I was able to burn labels before Snow Leopard. Their reply is below and I don't have a clue what they're talking about. I hope someone in this forum can enlighten me.
Thank you in advance,
You need to update the silicon image mother board of the Mac to the latest version so the LaCie drive can be operated under Snow Leopard.
How to do that is actually out of our support field, you will need to contact Mac tech support and they should provide more information on the issue.

I've never used Lightscribe (my dvd drive is pre-Lightscribe); but I just checked their downloads pages and I saw
Lightscribe labeler 1.2.2 which "fixes issues with 10.6"
Have you tried that? I've scoured their support pages and the only reference to a possible problem with 10.6 has to do with a setup assistant for an external hard drive (if you use a setup assistant).
Their email support could be better (I'm being polite); I have a problem with their statement:
+"so the LaCie drive can be operated under Snow Leopard."+
If they are referring to any DVD drive, it is bunk - mine is old and works just fine with 10.6.3 (I just tried it). As for the "silicon image mother board", unfortunately, I don't have a clue - I'd inquire if they're sure they are referring to a Mac rather than a Windows machine because we call it logic board.

Unable to unlock encrypted disk images created with Snow Leopard using Lion

Anyone else unable to unlock encrypted disk images created with Leopard and Snow Leopard with Lion? I know that they made changes with the release of FileVault 2 on Lion and Snow Leopard cannot use Lion encrypted disks but I thought it was backwards compatible where Lion should still be able to work with Snow Leopard created images (it was in the pre-release versions of Lion).
When attempting to mount an encrypted disk image created with Snow Leopard on Lion the normal password prompt appears but then just reappears every time the password is entered and does not unlock and mount the image. I'm positive the correct password is being entered and it works just fine when done on a machine running Snow Leopard.

Not in cases when the computer successfully boots to one OS but produces three beeps when an attempt is made to boot it to another. If it really was a RAM problem that serious, the computer wouldn't get as far as checking the OS version, and it has no problems booting Lion. In the event of a minor RAM problem, it wouldn't produce three beeps like that at all.

Error message when trying to install snow leopard

Hello,
I just tried to install snow leopard version 10.6 and get an error message mid installation that kicks the cd out of the drive and stalls. I can't complete the installation. I have a macbook pro 1,1 with 1.83 ghz processor with 1gb of ram and 25 gb of harddrive space left. i currently have version 10.4.11. any ideas about why this is happening or how to trouble shoot?

See the following:
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).
I suggest you backup your Tiger system, then boot from the Snow Leopard DVD, use Disk Utility to erase your hard drive, then install Snow Leopard. You can then selectively restore your files from your backup. To make this process easy be sure to create your new Snow Leopard user account with the same username that you have for your Tiger account. Any third-party software that you have you should reinstall rather than trying to copy from the Tiger backup.

Cannot open disk image created in Snow Leopard

I created an encrypted disk image in Snow Leopard. When I'm running Mavericks, it asks for the password, then the folder doesn't appear anywhere. Disk Utility shows it as mounted, but it is not visible in the Finder or in the sidebar as a mounted volume usually is. First Aid says all is OK.Unmount with Disk Utility, then it doesn't even ask for a password when reopening is attempted. Nothing happens. What's going on?

OK... I opened iDVD, found my project, and selected 'file', 'save as disk image'. The disk image was created (took almost 3 hours this way!). now, when i open disk utility, i can see the image there. i placed a blank DVD in the computer, selected the image in disk utility and clicked 'burn'. when i placed the burned DVD in my DVD player, it says it cannot read the disk! my understanding is that creating a disk image is the smart way to keep backup copies of my home made DVD's but if I can't burn playable replacement DVD's that obviously negates this option. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Advice above is 'spot on' : Do 'save as disk image'INSIDE iDVD. The disk image should be playable in anything which PLAYs DVD VIDEO_TS Folders: DVD Player, Mpegstreamclip, VLC.... I'm sure the only reason it took almost 3 hours this way is because iDVD Wasn't finished encoding/finalising the project....
W/O changes, subsequent Burns shd be as fast as any other DVD Burn (Altho, as I think was suggested, Burn at slow speed on slwo media is a very wise move.
CAVEAT: Burning using OTHER tools - from folder etc is not alway going to 'get everything' iDVD Changes, assets/work /temp files may be kept elsewhere.. etc etc.
INSIDE iDVD is the only safe way of 'getting it all.

Computer Crash Then error when installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard

My computer was running fine for about one week on OS Yosemite. But just yesterday when i rebooted my computer it would not boot into the OS at all. It would just turn on then go to the gray start up screen the the whole computer would turn off. I tired restoring from a time machine backup three times with no luck then i decided just to buy a new hard drive and start fresh. So I installed the old Mac OS X Snow Leopard and now when i reboot i get this error in the picture. can someone please help me out. This is a late 2009 Mac Pro and i was hopping to keep this computer for at least two more years before retirement.

I got it going. It seems that the boot disk needs to be in the first drive bay or it does not work. I think! But when i moved it it started working perfectly.

Partitioning secondary disk drive to install Snow Leopard OS X using a disk image.

Hello,
I had originally bought Snow Leopard OS X with a family licence. I installed it on my computer and then gave the disc to my cousin for him to install. Knowing he wasn't the best at returning things, I looked up how to create a disk image file from the Snow Leopard disc for extra precaution. As it turned out, I did not get the disk back, but I have the disk image saved to an external hard drive and burnt to a DL-DVD. I recently upgraded to Lion 10.7 but due to some compatibility issues (mainly Pro Tools) I wanted to partition a disk drive on my MacBook Pro's internal hard drive and designate it to Snow Leopard, to use when I run into a compatibility issue with Lion. As mentioned, I have a working DVD and .dmg of the Snow Leopard OS X, and have partitioned a 25GB drive for the install. However, I'm not completely sure where to go from there. I can the partitioned disk mounted on my desktop but I can not see it from "Startup Disk" nor using the "command R" keystroke at boot-up, only my primary disk drive. If anyone can give me some guidance or direct me to a link on this topic it would be greatly appreciated. I don't think it's very complicated, but this is my first time on these forums and the amount of information on here can get overwhelming for a new guy.
Thanks,
Chris

I've tried holding the C key during startup but that doesn't do anything, it just brings me to the regular start up screen and for some reason when I hold down the ALT key with the DVD inserted the only disk drives available are my system HD and "Recovery HD". I'm not sure why that is, I also have the disk image file saved to my computer. I read that using Disk Utility I can use the recovery option with the SL disc image as the "Source" and the partition as the "Destination" but when I did this, on reboot I got a 3-beep error sound. I'm not sure what the problem is but from my understanding it should be working. Maybe I didn't do something right when I backed up the SL disc but the files open on my system disk drive fine. I heard Apple will send you another disc if it's lost or damaged, I may just do that for safety's sake if there's nothing else.

Time Machine and Disk Permissions + Compatibility with Snow Leopard

I have received warning from Disk Utility that I should repair permissions as several files show incorrect permissions and, more than that, my 750GB shows "769GB available".
My questions are:
1. If I use Command+R and rebuild the disk from a Time Machine backup, will permissions be reset or will the files just be copied as they are now?
2. Is there a way to verify the TM backups to check the files therein?
3. Suppose, just for the sake of an exercise, that I reload Snow Leopard; can I still use SL's Time Machine to read a Lion Time Machine backup?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide!
Fernando

Why are you repairing permissions? It's a waste of time unless you have a specific reason to do it, and the warnings don't mean anything.
To verify your Time Machine backup, proceed as below.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo tmutil compare
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
Files that you’ve excluded from backup, or that are excluded automatically, are ignored.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.

I just created a disk image of my Snow Leopard

I am hoping to install Lion on a disk image of my Mac Pro. This disk image is currently on my desktop. The image seems to function well, and I'm now whittling down it's size. I haven't yet created a partition on my Mac Pro, in part because I'm hopeful that the disk image is all I'll need.
My goal is to install Lion onto the disk image ONLY, because I do not want to use it except in relation to my new iPad 2. (And I need to install Lion if I want to keep my dot mac email address after June 2011.)
Does anyone know of any reason why this planned upgrade to Lion will not work--I'm hoping that when I start the download of Lion, that I'll be asked "where do I want it installed? and that I'll be able to opt for ONLY the disk image.
Thanks for any input (especially that which is not too technical for non-techy me.)

Alinde Omalley wrote:
Thanks, Pondini. Your answer is probably correct, but it is a bit over my head. I found, today, that Lion said it was installed on my external hard drive; but I see no evidence of it being there. (I had installed Lion to an external hard drive, to which I'd already downloaded a bootable copy of my Mac Pro Snow Leopard.)
So it should have updated the Snow Leopard installation?
Does it appear as a possible startup drive in System Prefs > Startup Disk?
I might add--all my macs met the requirements for an upgrade. They were upgraded to the latest Snow Leopard; had enough disk space, memory, and such.
Then as long as they're all Core 2 Duos, the drive should start them.
I'm not sure what you find confusing -- let me try it this way:
When you install OSX on an external HD, that will be a complete installation -- at least one user account, all the default Apple applications, etc., as if it's a separate computer.
When you connect it to another Mac and start up from it, you'll be running that separate installation, not the installation of OSX that's on the Mac. You'll log on with the user account that's on the external, regardless of what's on the internal.
You can access the data on the Mac's internal HD (if the user on the external has permission to it), but only by selecting the HD, as if it's an external.

Internal BluRay burner recommendations for Snow Leopard on a new Mac Pro?

We're finally getting new Mac Pro's...hallelujah!! I was just wondering if anyone out there could recommend a good internal BluRay burner that will be compatible with the Intel Quad Core, Snow Leopard, and FCP7. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Melanie
Why does it have to be an internal Blu-ray drive? How many computers are you getting?
I would recommend purchasing the OWC Mercury Pro FireWire 800/400, eSata, USB 2.0 SATA 5.25 Case Kit and choosing your own SATA Blu-ray burner to install in the case. That way you can connect it to just about any MacPro, MacBook Or even a PC if necessary.
Here is a link:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MRSFW8U2/
Or if you don't want to build your own, OWC has several that they have built for you but I haven't been keeping up with any other them enough to recommend a specific Blu-ray burner. In any case, here are a couple likes.

Facetime error using OS 10.6.8 (snow leopard) "the server encountered an error processing registration"

I can't seem to manage to get logged into facetime on my MacBook Pro using OS 10.6.8, Snow Leopard. It keeps giving me the error of "the server encountered an error processing registration, please try again later" Well two days later its the same issue, can someone please help!! I see a lot of the fixes on here are for the upgraded operating system, and everyone seems to have had snow leopard work fine...why cant I!!! help the old school op system user PLEASE!! :-)

I've been trying to get an answer to this problem for MONTHS. I upgraded both my iMac and my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion, and ever since, FaceTime and iMessage stopped working. I got the "Server encountered an error . . ." So, I called Apple "support" and they claimed they haven't heard of this issue. I said I find it hard to believe since it's apparently a huge problem for tons of users and is all over the Apple forums. After spending an hour on the phone with "support", they said they had to pass i on to a senior engineer and they'd call me back within 2 days with an answer. After waiting a week, I decided to go to the place where I should have gone before, the place where all questions can be answered, even those too advanced for Apple, that place . . . YouTube.
Fixing the time issue didn't work for me, nor did any other solution that has been posted on the boards. Yet after watching a 1:24 video on YouTube, both FaceTime and iMessage now work for me.
Here's the solution which WILL work.
You do need to first make sure your date/time settings are correct and set to adjust automatically. But doing just this step will not fix the problem.
Open Finder, click on "Go" at the top menu, then select "Go To Folder"
Type in /etc and hit enter
You'll see a file called "hosts". Drag that file to your desktop.
Right click on that file and open with Text Edit
Select all the text in that file, delete it and replace it with the text below, exactly as it is below. Then save the new hosts file (just exiting will save it). And then drag that new hosts file back into the /etc folder to replace the old one. After that, your FaceTime and iMessage will work, no thanks to Apple.
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.

Spotlight eating disk space os x snow leopard

Hello,
I have 2 major problems. The first is that Spotlight, for at least 1 or 2 years, has continually eat disk space on a half-hour basis. It would go from gigabytes and drain down to zero and then back up again and then down. This slows down my Mac Pro because the disk is continually writing. Sometimes it would stop if I restarted the computer but it would only be for a couple hours.
I know that it is Spotlight because when I took my whole hard drive and dragged it to the "excluded" side in System Settings>Spotlight and it stopped doing what I mentioned above. I'm trying to find solutions that do not have to do with reinstalling Snow Leopard as I have so many things that I need to download of the internet and I have to keep doing so over and over everytime I re-install.
Could it be something with the Spotlight plist? I've checked all my caches and they aren't large at all.
2nd Major Problem:
Spotlight is taking up over 20 gigabytes to index. Why?
Thanks,
spiral

My computer doesn't recognize a disk to upgrade to snow leopard

Hi
I have macbook version 10.5.8 (model identifiner: MacBookPro5,3, i bought it in 2009) and bought a install DVD to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard (version 10.6.3). Before I bought the disk from apple store, I chatted with the costomer servise and they said it's the right disk to buy. But my computer doesn't read the disk and keep rejecting. Does anyone know why this happens or How I can solve this problem?

If it's the white Snow Leopard disc, then it's the correct one and any MacBook Pro can be upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Will your drive read other discs? It may be that your drive lens just needs a good cleaning - you can try one of the commerical CD/DVD lens cleaning kits sold at most electronics store and give that a try. If that doesn't work then I would take the disc back to the Apple Store along with your computer and let them have a go. If there's a mechanical problem with your SuperDrive they'll be able to diagnose that as well.
Good luck,
Clinton

Time Machine backup disk not mounting after Snow Leopard upgrade

i recently upgraded from latest version of Leopard to Snow Leopard via retail disk 10.6.3 & then updated combo 10.6.5. Now the TM backup disc will not mount.

Exactly what happens? Do you get a message? If so, what?
Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
If that doesn't help, the backups may be corrupted. Repair them, per #A5 in Troubleshooting.
