"Preparing Disk for Netbooted OS Install"

I gather it is normal for an OS installation to indicate it is preparing the h disk for a NetBoot install before it settles on preparing for a local booted install? Both entries have been logged.
The local install message is expected, but not NetBoot.
Thanks.

Let me rephrase:
After installing 10.6 from the Snow Leopard installation DVD, my install log shows both "Preparing Disk for Netbooted OS Install" and "Preparing Disk for a Local Booted Install" entries.
I was curious to know why? I don't do netbooting or any remote admin whatsoever.

  • Partitionning Disk for OS X Server 10.5.4 - A good Idea?

    Hi,
    Is it a good idea to partition the Disk for a clean install of OS X Server (10.5) to put the system on one partition and other files (datas of groups and users) into the second partition?
    If yes, please what size of partition should I consider for OS X Server to breathe freely?
    TIA

    If you cant get another drive in there (highly recommended) then yes I'd recommend that.
    The problem is, the system keeps some data on the system partition (mail, for example is stored in /var/spool/imap) so if you truly want to separate the data you will need to move this folder (with the mail server off) and change the setting.
    Id say about 20GB would be reasonable, that is enough for the system and anything you might add to it, and plenty for things like the collaboration tools which use so little space as to be not worth moving.
    Whatever you do, backup your stuff. Even if its just Time Machine (which in my experience is better than nothing, even in the 'advanced' setup)
    Does that help?

  • Encore CS5 has started freezing on "Preparing project for build..." in disk burn attempt

    After routinely burning DVDs with Encore CS5, the program has started freezing after I choose my settings and click "BUILD" on a window that reads, "Preparing project for build..."
    I checked for solutions online and read about problems with Quicktime versions after 7.5.5.  So I uninstalled Quicktime and installed the 7.5.5 version.  Still had problem.
    I reinstalled Encore.  Still had problem.
    Further research suggested I install the Roxio patch
    PX Engine 4.18.16a   I installed the patch.  Still had problem.
    I reinstalled the latest version of Quicktime v 7.7.4  Still had problem
    On my desktop computer, I'm running
    Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
    Intel i7 CPU  930 @ 2.80Ghz 2.80Ghz
    24 GB RAM
    nvidia Quadro GX 4800
    Raid config on my data drives
    Luckily, I also have Encore loaded as a part of the CS5 suite on a laptop computer, so I transfered the project files to the laptop, which burned the program without a problem.  This tells me the problem is with the program on my desktop and now with the project files.
    LAPTOP:
    Windows 7 Professional - 64 bit
    Intel i7 CPU  2620M  @  2.70 Ghz  2.70 Ghz
    4 GB RAM
    nvidia NVS 4200M
    I'd appreciate any suggestions about how to get my desktop to again burn DVDs in encore.
    Message was edited by: Dan 101 Just realized that when I reinstalled Encore, I got a message that instructed me to shut down two processes. One was related to Encore, the other was something like dynamiclink.exe. I couldn't find any such process running when I checked the Task Manager, so I couldn't shut it down before I continued with the installation.  Could this be related to the issue?

    I am not using any quicktime files.  I started with 1920 x 1080p avi files to build a number of Permiere projects (one for each chapter of a 50 minute DVD, then converted these segments into H.264 files, (with an .mp4 extension) and built a master Premiere project.  I used H.264 files because it seemed the best option to keep the quality as high as possible before converting to m2v files.  Then I converted the master Premiere project into  m2v and wav files which are being used by Encore.  Should I convert the individual projects into another format (rather than H.264) to build the master project?  Does Encore look at the files converted to m2v from  mp4 as Quicktime files?  Could I avoid this by converting to Microsoft AVI or Uncompressed Microsoft AVI to buld my master project?  I didn't built the entire project into one master premiere project from the start because I was concerned it would be too complex with all the elements and tracks.
    Now I can work with Encore and burn files, but the Encore program routinely freezes after I burn a disk.  The Quicktime thing is a puzzle, especially because I stopped getting the freeze when attempting to burn disks after I reinstalled Quicktime 7.6.5. I was trying a number of things and kept a log.  Now I'm trying to figure out why the program freezes after a disk has burned. I turned off Windows DVD Maker, Windows Media Center, and Windows Media Player, rebooted and turned the features on again, but that didn't seem to have an impact.  Also, when I attempt to make changes to a subtitle track, I see the changes in the subtitle track, but they don't appear in the burned disk -- unless I delete a subtitle and recreate it.
    Does the Roxio PX engine have any bearing on this?

  • How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk.

    How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk. Want to use internal disk drive or USD flash drive.

    Try calling 1-800-676-2775.  Give the serial number and thy *may* still burn you new install disks designed just for the hrdware in your system (for a fee, something like $160 per disk).  *May* is only because they may not burn disks for Leopard anymore.
    If they do not burn them for you, you can buy Leopard disks off Amazon or eBay for about $200.
    Have you considered Snow Leopard?.  Those disks only cost $19 (single user) or $29 (5-user license) through Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.

    Generally, it's ok to install on two machines as long as they are both yours and you only use one version at a time.

  • Can't boot from Install Disk for Leopard

    I purchased the new xeon core dual which only boots in Leopard. I need to put Leopard on an external drive, so I purchased Leopard and tried to install it on an external drive. My computer starts to read the disk but before it even gets to the blue screen, it stops, scrolls down in a dark gray screen and says I need to restart by holding the power button down. The screen kind of looks like a kernal panic with oriental writing under the english.
    I have tried by restarting and holding down the "c" key with no luck. I tried again with holding down the "option" key and when the hard drive and disk show up as choices. I chose the disk and still no luck. I disconnected all my external drives and tried again with no luck. I called tech support and they said it may be my optical drive. They set up an appointment with the genius bar at my local apple store. The genius listened to my drive and said there was nothing wrong with the drive and that it probably was a bad disk so they gave me a new one. Went home and tried with the new disk and same problem. Can anyone help?!! Thanks.

    I purchased the new xeon core dual which only boots in Leopard.
    I need to put Leopard on an external drive, so I purchased Leopard and tried to install it on an external drive.
    There's your problem. Macs which ship with Leopard can't boot Leopard retail, unless it is newer than the Mac in question. Check the version of Leopard on the Leopard retail DVD you purchased in the second quote. If it is older than what was installed on your Mac Pro based on the Mac Pro install and restore DVD, then it won't work on your Mac Pro. If you want Leopard of the Mac Pro to be backed up to be an emergency boot volume for the Mac Pro on the external drive, use a cloning software*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    Or follow these directions to backup your Mac Pro DVD*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/bootcd.html
    If you need an emergency Leopard volume for another Mac, install it directly from that other Mac. If that other Mac lacks a DVD drive, get a Firewire DVD drive to do it.

  • Install disk for iMac won't install

    I have a Mid-2011 iMac which I'm prepping for resale.  It had been upgraded to Lion.  But, I believe, no further.  I cleared the drive and wanted to reinstall the OS and apps.  Installing from the DVD got me the grey screen problem.  So, I booted into Snow Leopard (the OS it shipped with) from an external drive.  Then I tried to install the OS from the DVD which came with the machine.  I got the message: 
      mac os x snow leopard cannot be installed on this computer
    How is that possible?  It was the install disk for this computer.  What can I do? 
    I tried just installing Lion.  That went fine.  But, I couldn't install the apps which came with the machine.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    The licensing issues got real murky (aka complicated) after they went to digital download only as anything obtained at the app store is not transferable and tied to the original Apple ID. So, the system throws up all sorts of ..... If Pages et al was bundled, then no, I don't think it would install as that is filed under the "non-transferable" category I believe. If you had a retail iWork/iLife disk, you should be able to install them (but must include the disks when selling). You may have the wrong disks as well: mine came with 10.6.4 (2010) and so I can't use the retail version as that is 10.6.3. I'll post a screenshot at the end of build/OS numbers.
    I did a fair amount of testing on a 2010 iMac (purchased refurb in 2012) with Lion installed and the machine specific SL disks with it. I initially wiped the drive and reinstalled Snow Leopard. I updated the firmware at some point to allow recovery and, from what I've read, that is what is preventing you from being able to reinstall with the SL disk. I know I have the right disks because they worked initially, but I can no longer use them to boot from. So, I rely on bootable clones (which I prefer anyway).

  • Install disk for multiple computers

    Hi,
    My wife just got a new mac book pro today with the Leopard install disk.
    I have a mac book pro with Tiger on it. Can I use her disk to install Leopard on my computer, or do I need to buy a separate Leopard install disk for me?
    Thanks!

    You need to purchase Leopard. Not only are you not legally allowed to use her disk to install on your system it may not work and could mess your system up
    Only Family Packs are authorized to install on multiple computers

  • Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on an iMac 27in

    My Install Disk for Snow Leopard will not boot on my iMac 27in. The Apple Logo is the only thing the user will see. The current OS on the system is 10.6.6. Upon placing the Snow Leopard DVD in the system, the DVD players spins for a few seconds and displays the Apple Logo. Nothing happens after 20 minutes.

    Yes, it is ridiculous how it is impossible to install Snow Leopard. I have two Snow Leopard DVDs: one that I purchased for a Macbook soon after it's release (10.6.0), and one that came with my iMac (10.6.4). Both of these boot up my Macbook (running 10.6.7) just fine. My SL 10.6.0 DVD mounts onto my iMac (Lion 10.7.0), but you cannot run the install. I attempted to boot from this DVD and got the infinite white screen and Apple logo, as some have reported above. The other SL 10.6.4 DVD will not even mount in Lion, and will not even show up as a bootable drive when I attempt to select it after holding alt/option on reboot.
    I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.0, attempted boot, same infinite white screen/apple logo.
    I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.4 on my macbook. I attempted to boot from this drive, and got the white screen of death, except that this time I actually got the loading symbol underneath the Apple logo. After about a minute of attempting to boot, the Apple logo changed to a circle with a diagonal line through it (the "NO!" sign).
    I took my iMac to the genius bar. They inserted SL 10.6.0, which would not boot. Then they determined that my computer had to run 10.6.4 and later. So, they restored an image of SL 10.6.4 onto my partition (not an install from an image, but an image of SL already installed). Hurray! Snow Leopard was successfully shoved onto my iMac!
    I then deleted a third partition on my hard drive I did not need anymore, which somehow screwed up my SL partition (even though it said "Will not erase partition SL or Macintosh HD). Now I am back at square one, and I guess I need to take my flippin iMac back to Apple for them to do what I should be able to do.
    I like Apple, but sheesh do I hate Lion right now.

    I do not have a high speed internet connection. How can I get Mountain Lion on a disk for install on my 24" Imac?

    As long as you use your Apple ID to purchase it, I don't see why they wouldn't let you download the installer on one of their Macs and put it on a pocket drive.
    Or, a friend with a high speed connection?
    I agree with you about the delivery method, just trying to help you get what you want.

  • How to make boot disk for MacBook Pro with Mavericks pre-installed

    Hi -
    I recently bought a new 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display, which came pre-installed with Mavericks (10.9.0).  I want to make a bootable USB disk of the system software, and have successfly used DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) to make the USB boot disks for Lion and Mountain Lion.  In those cases, however, I was running earlier versions of the OSX, and downloaded the new OSX version -- Lion and Mountain Lion -- from the App Store in order to make to make the disk.  In this case, however, Mavericks was pre-installed, and I was unable to download it from the App Store (an alert said that it couldn't be installed on this computer... presumably because it was already installed).  I would apprecite any suggestions as to how I can create the boot disk without the ability to download Mavericks.  Thanks very much for any help anyone can provide.
    Shelly

    Open App Store and locate the full installer download file (5.29 GBs) for 10.9.1. Download to your computer.
    Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
    After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
        2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
    Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
        3. Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
    Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
    You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
    You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
    Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.
